president's Ctbbress

WE look to our Librarian for the chief address of our an-
nual meeting; his reports on the accessions for the year
and on the results of the investigations which he has made are
always full of interest and possessed of permanent value. He
will tell us of the progress which we are making, and give us
inspiration for further study and for continued work. We await
also this year the report of the Treasurer with great satisfac-
tion, knowing that we have no reason to hear of a deficit in
our accounts. I shall not need to detain you long, though I
can tell of good reasons for the interest which has been shown
in our public meetings, and of encouragement for advance in
carrying out the purposes of the Society; while on the other
hand I must present a long necrology, including the names of
men and women whom we are sorry to lose from our
membership.

MKKTINGS.

At the regular meetings of the year, the following papers
have been read:

In October, by Forrest Morgan, M.A.,of the Watkinson
Library, on "The Pilgrims' Landfall."

Signers and their Tombs."

In May, by the Rt. Rev. Edwin S. Lines, Bishop of Newark,
sometime President of the New Haven Colony Historical
Society, on " Jared Ingersoll, Stamp-master, and the Stamp-
act."

The Librarian's report will make mention of the gifts which
have been announced at the meetings, with other matters of
interest. I may note here that three members of the Society,
specially appointed in reply to an invitation, attended on the
first day of May the opening exercises of the 250th anniver-
sary of the settlement of Newark, New Jersey, by colonists
from Connecticut.

OBITUARY.

During the past year, twelve members have died:

James Junius Goodwin, LX. D., a life member admitted in
1887, for twenty-two years one of our vice-presidents, died
at his Hartford home 23 June 191 5. His services to this com-
munity had been many and various; his interest in matters
historical and genealogical had been wide and intelligent; his
assistance in investigation had been liberal and continuous; and
in particular his care for furthering the welfare of this Society,
for anticipating its wants, and for setting forward its work,
had been unceasing and generous, shown in many ways which
are matter of record and in many ways which he did not allow
to become known. His memory will be perpetuated by the
fund endowed in his name and at his request, of which men-
tion will be presently made.

James Nichols, in his earlier life a lawyer and judge, later
President of the National Fire Insurance Company of Hartford,
admitted to membership in 1890, died 29 April 191 6.

William Waldo Hyde, sometime Mayor of Hartford, a
member of the bar, highly and deservedly honored by his
fellow-citizens, a member since 1891, died 30 October 191 5.

Theodore M. Maltbie, of Hartford and Granby, elected
a member in 1893, died 13 November 19 15.

Charles Townley .Martin, of Hartford, a life-member,
admitted in 1894, died 18 March 1916.

George Munson Curtis, a member since [899, prominent
in the industrial and civic life of Meriden, who had made an
exhaustive stud}- of the history and work of the silversmiths
of Connecticut, died 28 August 19 15.

Mrs. Harriet Eliza Goulden Wiiitmore, of Hartford,
whose membership dated from 1902, a student of Colonial
History and honored in the Society of Colonial Dames, died 30
June 191 5.

Edward \V. Hooker, lately Mayor of Hartford, well known
in the community, elected a member in 1904, died 3 .Septem-
ber 1 91 5.

James LeBaron Williams, of Brooklyn, N. Y., admitted
to membership in 1905, died about six months ago.

Sylvester Clark Dunham, President of the Travelers
Insurance Company, prominent in the activities of this city, a
member of this Society since 1908, died 26 October 19 15.

Mrs. Ella Myers Peets, of New Haven, for six years a
member, died 29 September 1915.

Mrs. Lii.lie Gunn Smith, of Washington, Conn., admitted
to membership four years ago, died in January 19 16.

MEMBERSHIP.

Besides the loss by death of these members, two of whom
were life members, we must note that three members have
resigned and that the names of four have been dropped from
the list, while one annual active member has become a life
member, and eight members have been added by election.
The whole number of names on our roll is now 367, of whom
is are members ex officio \ one of these being also entered as an
active member), one is an honorary member, eight are corres-
ponding members, and 341 are active members; of these latter
34 are members for life, and 307 are chargeable with annual
dues.

FINANCIAL.

It is a matter of great satisfaction to make mention of the
large increase of the funds of the Society during the past year.

In November there was announced the receipt of $20,000 from
the wife of our late vice-president, James Junius Goodwin, in
his name and in accordance with his wishes; in January, the
receipt of almost $5,300 from the residuary estate of the late
Edward Simons, of Hartford; and in May, the receipt of
$1,017 as a designated portion of the residuary estate of the
late Mrs. Sophia Fidelia (Hall) Coe, widow of Levi E. Coe, of
Meriden. The total sum of about $26,300 has much more
than doubled the amount from which the Society can derive an
income for its general expenses and for the purchase of books.
Last year we could count on the interest of some $16,800 for
these purposes; next year the income of about $43,100 will be
at our disposal. We are thus relieved from our annual anxiety
as to a deficit, which (as you will remember) has been averted
for several years by the gift of $500 from Mr. Goodwin and
by special subscriptions to the amount of some $300 — making
together the interest at five per cent, on $16,000 or at four per
cent, on $20,000 — and we shall be able to carry on our work,
not indeed without the constant application of economy, but
with more " lee-way " than for several years past. And as we
thus express our satisfaction at the immediate benefit which
comes to us from these gifts, we shall not fail to appreciate the
proof of confidence in our work, in its value, and in the neces-
sity of continuing it, which is thus shown and which we may
well expect will be further shown as the years pass on.

IS

librarian's Heport.

Mr. President and Members of the Society:

It is only a repetition of what has been done in previous
reports to again call attention to the lack of room for the
collections and the general work of the Society. We are
being strangled by lack of space. There are probably as
many bound volumes and unbound pamphlets in storage,
either on temporary shelves in the annex building or in piles
or boxes in our basement rooms, as there are shelved and
available for use in the regular library rooms. So that prac-
tically one half of our library cannot be used. Of course the
volumes in storage are those that would be least often con-
sulted. Yet occasions are constantly arising when it is neces-
sary to tell a reader that we possibly, or it may be certainly,
have some book that he wishes to consult; but that it is stored
away where it cannot be found for use. Almost every foot of
space on the shelves in the regular library rooms is now filled.
Books and pamphlets are to be found in piles on the floor or
tucked away in odd corners of our stack room. There is
practically no room for further growth of the library, and the
store rooms are filled almost to their capacity. Under these
conditions it is not possible for the readers or the librarian to
work to the best advantage or to give the best service. What
is to be done ?

The only publication issued during the year was the annual
report, a pamphlet of 42 pages. A volume of Correspondence
and Documents during the Governorship of Roger Wolcott,
November 1750 to May 1754, has been prepared and is now in
the press. This is to form the sixteenth volume of the
Society's series of Collections. Above 300 pages, comprising
more than half of the volume, have already been printed. In
preparing the "copy " for this volume, letters and documents
were obtained outside the Society's library from nine different
sources in the cities of Boston, Hartford, New York, Washing-
ton and London. The volume will have much to relate about

that strange affair of the Spanish boat which put into the
harbor of New London in distress and lay there many mouths,
while there was much argument over her status and her com-
manders rights before her cargo was reshipped to Spain.

Thirty-seven volumes and three pamphlets from the library
of our late Vice-President James J. Goodwin have been pre-
sented to us by Mrs. Goodwin. They are all historical books
and most of them English works; although among them are
the Salisburys' Family Histories and Genealogies and several
volumes of the New York Society of Colonial Wars and Sons
of the Revolution publications. The English books include:

Bacon, N. Annals of Ipswiche.

Parish registers of Bobbingworth, Essex.

Cummington and Warner. Braintree and Booking.

County of Sussex, and many of its family records.

Carthew, G. A. History of West and East Bradenham.

Matthews, J. H. Cardiff records.

Brigg, W. Genealogical abstract of wills, P. C. C, register "Woot-
ton", 1658, vol. 1.

Broad Norfolk.

West, F. Sketch of the history of nonconformity in Braintree and
Bocking.

Sargeaunt, J. History of Felsted school.

Calamy and Palmer. Nonconformist's memorial, 2d ed.

Zincke, F. B. Wherstead: some materials for its history.

A list of some of the more important gifts received from

An important volume recently published bearing on the
history of the jurisprudence of this state in colonial days is
Francis Fane's Reports on the Laws of Connecticut, made
from 1733 to 1 74 1. It is edited and preceded with an histori-
cal introduction by Dr. Charles M. Andrews of Yale Univer-
sity. A copy of this has been presented to us. Francis
Fdward Brownell, formerly of Hartford but now residing- in
Atlanta, Ga., has given us about 1S0 theatre programmes,
posters and play bills of about 1850 to 1855, nearly all of them
of entertainments given in Hartford. From Oscar Wegelin
we have received a copy of his book on Jupiter Hamilton, the
first American negro poet. It contains a reproduction, from
the unique original in our library, of Hamilton's "Address to
Miss Phillis Wheatly, Pithiopeau Poetess," dated Hartford,
August 4, 177S. The Address is also reproduced in the sketch
and bibliography of " Phillis \\ neatly " and " Six Broadsides "
relating to her, copies of which have been presented to us by
their author and publisher, Charles F. Heartman. From
Trinity College we have received "A list of current periodicals
in the libraries of Hartford," which is at once proving its
usefulness.

Among other valued accessions are several volumes of
marriages printed from records of a number of parishes in the
counties of Devon, Essex and Somerset, England, the gift of
Miss Jane Tuttle; eighteen volumes of Pennsylvania Archives,
comprising the fifth and sixth series, from the Pennsylvania
State library; from the Lewis Historical Publishing Company,
genealogies of New England Families, first and third series,
and Encyclopedia of Pennsylvania Biography, in all thirteen
quarto volumes; The Diary of Manasseh Minor of Stonington,
1696-1720, received from the publisher, Frank D. Miner, of
Jersey City; from Charles A. Munn, seven bound volumes of
American Homes and Gardens; from John Hall Sage, a copy
of Extracts from votes and proceedings of the American Con-
tinental Congress, the issue officially published by the colony,
printed at New London in 1774.

Another donation of directories of different cities, compris-
ing eighty-nine volumes, has been received from the Hartford
Printing Company, Elihu Geer's sons. Numerous valuable
publications have been received from the officials of this State,
of the United States, the Library of Congress, the Illinois
Historical Library, the New Hampshire State Library, the
Smithsonian Institution, the Royal Society and Geological
Survey of Canada.

We have received numerous publications, most of them of a
minor nature, relating to the great war now in progress in
Europe, the greater number being from the side of the Entente
Allies.

An interesting bibliographic compilation arranged and pre-
sented by the Bureau of Railway Economics of Washington,
D. C, is a "Trial Bibliography on the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad," comprising 144 typewritten
quarto pages.

In a cause depending before the Supreme Court of the
United States, entitled ' ' People of the State of New York v.
Frederick W. Becker as Sheriff," relating to the rights of the
Seneca Indians under a treaty ratified in 1797, recourse was
had by the U. S. authorities to manuscripts among our Jeremiah
Wadsworth papers, and they were printed as a part of the
Government's "brief."

Eleven additions have been made to our unrivaled collection
of eighteenth century Connecticut imprints, six of them being

almanacs. Their dates are 1728, 1765, [1765], 1781, 1782,

1783. 1 7 «s 7 • 179", 1793. 1797. 179s-

The family genealogies added during the year are those of
Avery, Basset t, Beach, Benjamin, Caldwell, Church, Claflin,
Conkling, Crosby, Karnes, Fletcher, Goodwin- Morgan Ances-
try, Grant, Haines, Hallock, Hazart, Hodsdon, Hord, Hough-
ton, Johnson, Kimball, Lake, Lewis, Lyon, Morgan, Morrell,
Newberry, Newton, Page, Pepperrell, Pomeroy, Richardson,
Salisbury Memorials, Savage, Scovil, Spelman, Stratton, Trow-
bridge, Van Culenborg, Webster, Willard, Williams Ancestry;
making forty-two in all. These vary in size from a chart of a
single sheet to five large quarto volumes. Since the publica-
tion, nearly five years ago, of our list of family genealogies,
nearly two hundred have been added to the library.

The vital records of Greenfield, Mass., was purchased with
income from the William F. J. Boardman Fund, and to the
Goldthwaite Fund is credited the History and genealogy of
one line from Capt. Edward Johnson, by A. Johnson.

Owing to the absence of any large gifts of books or pam-
phlets, the accessions for the year fall considerably below the
number for last year. The donations amount to 469 volumes,
477 pamphlets and 25 miscellaneous; the purchases to 80
volumes, 88 pamphlets and 14 miscellaneous; the exchanges
to one volume and 27 miscellaneous. These make a total of

55© volumes, 565 pamphlets and 66 miscellaneous, or a grand
total of 1,181 items. Included in the above purchases are nine
volumes credited to the Lucy A. Brainard Book Fund, two to
the Charles J. Hoadly Fund, one to the William F. J. Board-
man Fund and one to the Goldthwaite Fund.

Prices of books during the last few years, as of almost
everything else, have had a steady upward tendency, aud in
consequence, where a fixed sum is available from year to year
for purchases, the number of books purchased has declined.

The number of readers using our library during the year is
3,404, a variation of less than one per cent, from the previous
year.

Our collection of early Connecticut newspapers has been
increased by the addition of a file of the Norwich Packet from
Jan. 3, 1793, to Feb. 13, 1794. We previously had a file for the
year 1800. Twenty-seven issues of the Connecticut Journal
were added to the valuable but incomplete file described in my
report of two years ago. Since the breaking out of the War
with Spain in 1S9S the publishers of both the Hartford
Courant and Hartford Times have sent us their daily issues
for binding and preservation; and our renewed thanks are
extended to the publishers of both newspapers for this courtesy.

The manuscripts received during the year, while not as
numerous as some years, have included a number of interest-
ing items. They are:

Joseph Lynde's account against the United States, 1814,

The "Journal Notes of Alonzo Jackman," who in later life
became Brigadier General of the Second Vermont Infantry,
deserve further mention. The first part contains a condensed
genealogy of his branch of the Jackman family from the early
days of the settlement of Newbury, Mass. Part two gives " the
prominent events of my (his) life." This gives details of his
boyhood in Vermont; his life as a young man in the stone
quarries of Portland, Conn.; his trips to Ohio and New
Orleans; his connection for many years with Norwich, Vt.,
University as military instructor, and his journey in 1849 to
California and Oregon. His "Domestic Journal," which
forms a third part, describes his happy married life and his

great grief over the death of his wife. Altogether it form
an interesting biographical sketch.

In March the Society received under the will of the lat
E. Dwight Faruham of South Windsor the collection of Indiai
stone implements and utensils gathered by him in the vicinit]
of his home during the last forty or more years. This is thi
largest and most important gift of "Indian relics" eve
received by the Society. The most interesting and importan
specimen in the collection is a large stone bowl or dish, one o
the largest ever found in New England, which was dug up ii
East Hartford about 1886. The material from which this i
made is a fine quality of light gray soapstone. The sides ar
made very thin and a long crack had appeared on one sid
while it was still in use by its Indian owners. To lessen th
chance of further injury they had made two holes on eacl
side of the crack, near the rim of the dish, so that it might b
strengthened by tying together the parts on each side of th
crack. Its size is about nineteen and one-half inches long
including the projections on each end, which served as handles
twelve and one-half inches wide and ten inches high. Th
bottom is rounding, so that it leans to one side. The arrov
and spear points in the collection number fully one thousand
Among them are some of the finest specimens that have beei
found in this vicinity: The larger pieces, axes, celts, pestle
and the like, together with a few choice small pieces, numbe
above one hundred. The axes and celts comprise a typical collec
tion of the forms and sizes usually found in this vicinity, whil
among them are a number of choice and beautiful examples
Among the small pieces may be mentioned a soapstone bow
less than three inches in length but as perfectly formed as an;
larger one, three pipes, two gorgets, a ceremonial axe or ban
ner stone, a plummet, an imperfect polished slate arrow poin
such as is occasionally found in New York State, and severa
very small celts and gouges. With a half dozen exceptions
all of the specimens are local to South Windsor or the inime
diate vicinity.

Since the Farnham gift was received, Olcott F. King o
South Windsor has presented a soapstone dish eight inches h
length, somewhat injured by the plow, which was recentl;
found by him on his farm; and Mrs. A. E. McLean of Plain
ville has presented a handsome polished celt nine inches long

found on the Lewis farm in that town. Further additions to
the Indian collection will be welcomed.

The Society has received from Miss Agnes K. Bowen of
Pleasant Valley, as the bequest of Miss Harriet G. Atwell of
the same place, a collection of old Connecticut household
utensils and furnishings of iron, tin and wood. Among them
are a crane with pot hooks, tongs, frying pan, kettles, waffle
iron, trivet, slice, mortar, candle molds, tea canister, perforated
lantern, footstoves, lamps for burning whale oil and camphene,
cake box, " keeler " or small tub, cheese table, "theorem"
painting and package of ' ' theorems, ' ' which were paper patterns
cut out and used as stencils, and five woven splint baskets.
These household utensils of former days are each year becom-
ing scarcer and more difficult to obtain and we are very glad
to receive these articles, with the hope that we may at some
later date be able to fit up one or more rooms with these
furnishings used by our ancestors. The five baskets mentioned
above were made by the Wabbaquassett Indians of Woodstock.
Four of them have covers, and the three largest are orna-
mented with designs, markings and stripes in black and red.
The largest, which is rectangular, measures thirteen by six-
teen by twenty-one inches. The next in size, which is circular,
measures eighteen inches in diameter. These four were made
about 1824. The fifth is shaped for hanging on the wall, and
was made about 1838.

Following the gift from Miss Atwell, one of our members,
Mr. James Shepard, has presented us with the collection of
more than a dozen baskets gathered by his daughter, now
deceased. These are all of smaller size than the Woodstock
baskets. At least half of them are old and of undoubted
Indian manufacture and presumably of Connecticut origin,
several bear designs or markings in black or red, and some of
them are probably near a century old. These two lots make
a fine beginning for a collection of local Indian basketry, and
it is hoped that other examples will be added to the collection.

The Society has been for some years the possessor of the
original deed of partition between the patentees of the towns
of Hartford and Windsor, dated February 11, 1731-2, covering
the land which now comprises the towns of Torriugton, Bark-
hamsted, Colebrook, Hartland, Winchester, Xew Hartford
and Harwinton. This deed is the original source or basis of

all titles to land within those towns, and is referred to and
described at length in the records of the colony; bnt strange
to say it had never been entered on record. At the sugges-
tion of F. Clarence Bissell we have had it entered on record
on the public land records in the office of the Secretary of the
State; and, curiously enough, space for recording it was found
in the volume in which it would have been entered had it been
filed for record immediately after being signed 184 years ago.

The additions to our funds received during the past year
add to the outlook for the growth of the library in the future.

Appended to this report, when printed, will be found a List
of the Family Genealogies added to the library since the
publication of a previous list five years ago.

Respectfully submitted,

Albert C. Bates, Librarian.

Recording Secretary's Report.

Mr. Chairman and Members of the Society:

In the absence of the usual "President's Address," your
secretary has been requested to present to this meeting some
data and statistics respecting the Society. These will show
you that the work of the Society has proceeded along the
usual course. It is apparent, however, that there has been a
lessening of activities in a number of lines. A smaller num-
ber of new members than usual has been added during the
year, the total of gifts is slightly smaller than the average for
some years past and the number of readers less. These
changes are doubtless due, in part at least, to the momentous
events which are now absorbing the attention of the entire
world.

MEETINGS.

The usual monthly meetings have been held from October
to May, at which papers or addresses of interest have been
presented by members of the Society or others. The average
attendance at these meetings has been about thirty-five; the
smallest number present, on a stormy evening, being twenty,
and the largest above fifty-five. Friends of the Society as well
as members have been present at each of these meetings to
listen to the papers, they probably constituting nearly one-half
of the whole number present. This meeting, the annual,
makes nine general meetings held during the year. The
Standing Committee, which acts in an executive capacity for
the whole Society, has held five meetings, at all but one of
which business of importance has been considered and acted
upon.

The following papers have been read at the regular meetings
of the year:

In October, by Mr. John M. Holcombe, on " Colleges and
Universities of Colonial Times," stating that the founding of
each was inspired by religious purposes, and that ten now in
existence were founded previous to the Revolution.

In November, by Mr. Herbert H. White, on "The Begin-
ning of the American Union," explaining the work of the
committees of correspondence, of safety, of inspection and of
the pay table.

In December, by Franklin B. Dexter, Ljtt. D., on "The
Removal of Yale College from Saybrook to New Haven in
1 71 7," showing the views of the different trustees upon the
subject of removal and the various influences which bore upon
the question.

In January, by Ernest Bradford Ellsworth, Esq., on
" Godfrey Malbone," sketching the life of this quaint resi-
dent of eastern Connecticut, with his tory beliefs and his strong
stand for the Episcopal Church.

In February, an address on "Social Life in New England
from 1790 to 1820," was given by Rev. George L. Clark, in
which the life and activities of the people were touched on
from many angles.

In March, by your secretary on " The Upper House of the
Connecticut General Assembly previous to the Constitution,"
dwelling upon the mode of election of its members and their
long continuance in office.

In April, a paper prepared by Mr; James R. Graham was
read by Arthur L,. Shipman, Esq., on "The John Brown
Raid," Mr. Graham detailing the history of this event partly
from his personal recollection of it.

In May, by Miss Alice M. Gay, on " Hartford in the Time
of Queen Anne, ' ' a gathering of scattered incidents and events
which together formed an enlightening picture of that period.

OBITUARY.

Death has removed thirteen members from our rolls during
the year:

Our revered and honored president, Doctor Samuel Hart,
the third in seniority among our members, having been
admitted in 1875, died February 25, 191 7.

At our meeting on March 6 the presiding officer, Vice-Presi-
dent Frank F. Starr, read the following minute:

It is with sorrow that I have to announce that since the last meeting
our honored President, Rev. Samuel Hart, D. D., LL. D., D. C. L.,
entered into rest on Sunday morning about 12:30, February 25.

He was elected to membership July 6, [875, and took an active part
in the work of the Society.

At the annual meeting of May, 1S76, the next following his admis-
sion, he was placed on the Library Committee, and with the exception
of the year from May, 1S90, to May, 1S91, served on that committee
until May, 1S99, part of the time acting as Chairman.

In May, 1890, he was elected Corresponding Secretary and continued
in that office until May, 1894, when he was promoted to the Vice-
Presidency.

This he held until December, 1900, when he was elected President to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Dr. Charles J. Hoadly, and
bv continuous re-elections held the office up the time of his death.

He was a man of many talents and held numerous positions in Church
and State. Beloved by all, the numerous delegates from various
organizations, including four from this Society, with about one hundred
of the clergy from this state and elsewhere and many others, formed
an assemblage of several hundred at the funeral in the Church of the
Holy Trinity, Middle-town, on Wednesday, the 28th, and was a fine
tribute to his memory.

At the next succeeding meeting, April 3, a committee of the
Society, which had been appointed for the purpose, reported
the following, which was adopted and was directed to be
entered upon the records of the Society:

MEMORIAL MINUTE TO PRESIDENT SAMUEL HART, D. D., D.C.L., IX,. D.

The members of the Connecticut Historical Society, moved by a deep
sense of the Society's indebtedness to Dr. Samuel Hart, desire to express
for ourselves and record for our successors, our appreciation of his
services during a period of more than forty years.

He was elected a member in 1875, and associated with a coterie of
scholars who soon approved his worth by choosing him chairman of the
Library Committee. On that committee he labored with efficiency for
fourteen years. He was then elected Corresponding Secretary, for
which office his literary gifts and extensive acquaintance were an ample
endowment. In 1S94 he was elected a Vice-President, and six vears
later, in response to a unanimous desire, he assumed the office of
President.

We recognize the value of Dr. Hart's labors in extending the member-
ship of this Society and in furthering its financial support. His interest
was unfailing, though often claimed by other causes. Wisdom, fidelity
and courtesy were the characteristics of his administration. As the
representative of this Society he graced many memorial occasions. He
was frequently called upon to render public service in addresses, for
which he was qualified by his thorough knowledge of Connecticut
history.

In learning, he was accomplished in many fields. As a patient and
accurate student, he attained a high ideal as a scholar, and unselfishly
devoted all he acquired to noble ends. With the members of this

Society, Dr. Hart has left an abiding remembrance of his personality —
erect in bearing, modest in demeanor, cordial in greetings, the dignified
composure of his face, radiant with the goodness of his character,
dominating his presence. We would make record of our sympathy for
those who were associated with him in the spheres of education, charity,
citizenship and the church, in which he rendered distinguished and
affectionate service, and unite with them in expressions of sorrow at
the passing from us of such a noble and useful life.

William DeLoss Love,
F. Clarence Bissell,
Charles G. Woodward,

Committee.

Lewis Elliott Stanton, admitted in 1879, a man of
marked antiquarian tastes, and the senior member of the
Hartford bar, died August 27, 19 16.

tions, admitted in 1891, died October 17, 1916.

Charles H. Northam, a member since 1893, prominent
in business affairs in Hartford, died June 6, 191 6.

Charles Sidney Ensign, formerly of Hartford, but
recently an attorney of Newton, Mass., and always interested
in historical subjects, admitted in 1893, died April 10, 191 7.

Mary Clark, admitted 1893, we^ known for her benevo-
lence and generosity, died March 8, 191 7, and in her will
bequeathed a number of valuable historical objects to the
Society.

Mrs. Ella Coe Birdsky Curtis of Windsor, wife of
Grosvenor W. Curtis, for many years a frequent visitor at the
library, admitted in 1894, cne(l December 2, 1916.

Walter Bliss, admitted in 1895, a well known publisher
and a connoisseur of fine books and literary manuscripts, died
March 16, 191 7.

Cleveland Abbe, A. M., IX. D., B. S., of Washington,

D. C, elected a corresponding member in [896, a man of
scientific attainments and widely known for his work as a
meteorologist in the United States Weather Bureau, died
October 28, 1916. He was joint author of the Abbe Gene-
alogy, published since his death, on which he had worked for
more than half a century.

MEMBERSHIP.

Our total membership has decreased by eleven during the
year. In addition to the twelve active members, one of whom
was a member for life, and one corresponding member whose
deaths have already been noted, two active members have
resigned and the names of five have been dropped from our
rolls. Eight active members have been admitted to the
Society. One ex-officio member has been retired by age limit
from the Supreme Court bench, and his place has been taken
by the advancement of one of the Superior Court judges;
while two newly appointed Superior Court judges have taken
their seats. Our active membership is now 330, of whom 33
are members for life. We have also 19 ex-officio members,
one of whom is also an active member, one honorary and
seven corresponding; making a total membership of 356. The
slight falling off in the number of our members during the last
few years is to be deplored, and seems to me a matter for con-
sideration. Is it not possible that the appointment of a special
committee or committees to solicit new members would be
advantageous.

FINANCIAL.

Because of the substantial increase in our invested funds
during the last two years, it has not been found necessary to
appeal to our members for contributions to prevent an annual

deficit. Let both our members and friends remember, how-
ever, that the Society could use to good advantage a much
larger income than is returned by its present invested funds,
and that a much larger income would correspondingly increase
its sphere of activity and usefulness.

Respectfully submitted,

Albert C. Bates,

Recording Secretary.

librarian's Heport.

Mr. Chairman and Members of the Society:

Your librarian in presenting this report ventures to call
attention to the fact that it is the twenty-fifth consecutive
annual report that he has had the honor of laying before the
members of the Society. This, with a single exception, is a
longer period than any other official of the Society has ever
continued in its service. The changes that have taken place
in the Society during these years and the three preceding
years, since my admission to membership in July, 1SS9, have
been many and varied. The active membership, a little less
to-day than it was about five years ago, has increased in the
last twenty-eight years from 115 to 330. During that period
we have lost by death 232 active members. Six honorarv, 15
corresponding and several who were members by reason of
their official positions have also deceased. Only twenty-one
of our present active members, two corresponding and one
ex-officio, were members previous to my admission, and one
active and one corresponding member were admitted on the
same day as myself. In the twenty-five years of my librarian-
ship above 35,000 books and pamphlets have been added to the
library, the number being about equally divided between the
two classes. In addition to these there are above 2,000
miscellaneous items, the great majority of them printed matter.
Only a very small percentage of the additions are duplicates.
All of these additions have been made with the expenditure of
only $8,150.94 for purchases; the greater part of our additions
coming by gift and by exchange with other societies. We
have also added during the same period about 16,500 pieces to
our valuable collection of historical manuscripts, probably
making their total number to-day in excess of 50,000 items.
It should be remembered that a manuscript may mean a single

sheet of paper or a volume of several hundred pages. Our
family genealogies have increased in number in the last twenty-
four years from about 365 to about 1,950; our local histories
have trebled or perhaps quadrupled, and notable additions
have been made to several other departments of the library.

Among the gifts received are at least one book and one
manuscript each having a value to-day of more than one
thousand dollars; while each of four series of manuscripts
probably has as great a value.

During my librarianship the Society has published thirteen
volumes of Collections, two volumes of Cincinnati Records and
Papers, one volume of vital records, twenty-four annual
reports, three special pamphlets and several leaflets. Together
these contain a total of over 8,000 pages, equaling an average
publication of 320 pages — a respectable sized volume — each
year.

The total number of our readers during the last twenty-two
years has been 78,822, a yearly average of more than 3,575.

Our publications during the past year are of unusual interest
and importance. The earliest was the usual " annual report "
of May, 191 6, consisting of 51 pages. This included, in addi-
tion to the usual yearly data relating to the Society, a list of
the 200 family genealogies added to the library in the last five
years, since the publication of the separately issued pamphlet
list of genealogies in 191 1. A few copies of this additional
list were separately published and paged to supplement the
list of 191 1.

Two volumes of Special Publications, one folio and the other
quarto in size, were issued in March. The publication of
these handsome volumes was made possible through the
interest and generosity of the Honorable Morgan G. Bulkeley,
a life member of our society for more than a score of years.
The quarto volume contains the ' ' Records of the Connecticut
State Society of the Cincinnati," from its formation in 17S3 to
its formal dissolution in 1804, comprising, in addition to the
preliminary printed pages, 223 pages of records. The folio
volume contains the " Papers" of the same society, including
the original "institution," lists and autographs of the mem-
bers, minutes of meetings of the General Society, correspondence
addressed to the State Society, including two letters bearing

General Washington's autograph, reports of officers and com
mittees and abstracts of the treasurer's reports; the whole
forming a volume of 181 pages besides the introductory page».
All of the pages of " Records" and "Papers" are published
in full sized facsimile reproduction of the original documents
by photo-gelatine process; every letter of the writing as well
as every stain or imperfection in the paper showing as dis-
tinctly as in the original manuscript.

The records and all of the documents, with a single excep-
tion, that are reproduced in these volumes have been in the
custody of this society for seventy-five years. The Connecti-
cut State Society of the Cincinnati having been revived,
Senator Bulkeley, who is an active member of the revived
society, was desirous that the records and papers of the origi-
nal society should be published; and it was at his suggestion
that the facsimile form of publication was adopted. It seems
proper to state that the reproductions were made and printed
by the Wyanoak Publishing Company of New York City,
and that the volumes were bound by the Case, Lock wood and
Brainard Company of Hartford.

In March also the sixteenth volume of our series of
"Collections," which had been in the hands of the printers
and binders for more than a year, was published. This
volume, an octavo of almost 600 pages, contains "Corre-
spondence and Documents during Roger Wolcott's Governor-
ship of the Colony of Connecticut, 1 750-1 754, with some of
earlier date." This volume continues the series of correspond-
ence and documents of the governors of the colony, which has
now been published by the Society for the period of thirty
years from 1724 to 1754, and for the official careers of
Governors Joseph Talcott, Jonathan Law and Roger Wolcott.
Tlie appendix to the present volume contains some official
papers of Governor Law, now owned by a descendant in
Philadelphia. The importance and value of these volumes of
correspondence and documents is widely recognized, and your
librarian, speaking also as one of the publication committee,
would recommend a continuance of our publications along
these lines, either by the issue of the papers of some later
governor or of some person who had a noteworthy public
career — possibly Hon. William Samuel Johnson.

Contrary to our usual custom, the Society has during the
year loaned two of its oil paintings to the Brooklyn Museum
of Fine Arts, to be placed for a short time in its loan exhibi-
tion of the work of early American artists. The pictures
loaned were portraits of Judge Stephen Mix Mitchell of
Wethersfield and of his wife, Hannah (Grant) Mitchell. They
were painted by Samuel Finley Breese Morse about 1 825-1 827,
and were presented to the Society by their daughter, Harriet
Mitchell, who died in 1878.

The Massachusetts Historical Society has presented us with
a beautifully made series of photostat reproductions of the
Boston News Letter, nearly complete for the years 17 19, 1720,
1721, 1722. This supplements our volume of original issues of
the same paper, which begins in December, 171 5, and extends
to the beginning of 17 19. Some numbers missing in this
series have also been supplied in photostat facsimile by the
Massachusetts Historical Society. This volume, which was
presented to this Society more than sixty years ago by Dorsou
E. Sykes of Norwich, was originally the property of Judge
Samuel Sewell of Boston, and contains memoranda written by
him.

Among interesting and valuable gifts received during the
year perhaps first place should be given to that of Miss
Gertrude O. Lewis, from whom ninety volumes and pamphlets
were received, including the National Cyclopedia of American
Biography, complete in fourteen volumes, a number of
volumes of genealogy, several sets of historical magazines and
Carrington's Battles of the American Revolution. From the
American Historical Society of New York we have received
several of their valuable publications, including Representative
Citizens of Connecticut in three volumes, Memorials of Maine
and German American families; from Yale University Ex-
tracts from Ezra Stiles' itineraries, 1 755-1 794, Documentary
history of Yale, 1701-1745, both edited by our life member,
Dr. Dexter; from Clara A. Coolidge of Boston, widow of
Thomas Jefferson Coolidge, Jr., a superb volume on Thomas
Jefferson, architect; from the Maine Historical Society three
volumes of its Documentary History of Maine; from the
National Museum of Brazil three volumes of its valuable
Archives; from the Virginia State Library a continuation of
its valuable bulletins.

Sir Gilbert Parker of London has continued the sending of
books, pamphlets, and official publications, setting forth the
part being taken by and the views of the entente allies in the
present great war. Many of these publications make fascinat-
ing, although sometimes gruesome reading. A few publica-
tions taking the part of the central powers have also been
received.

A copy of the recently published Roll and Journal of Con-
necticut soldiers in Queen Anne's war, 1710, 171 1, giving the
only known list of Connecticut soldiers in that war, has been
presented to us.

Messrs. Geer, the Hartford Printing Co., have made their
annual valuable donation of directories from all parts of the
country, consisting this year of 1 10 volumes.

The records of the Connecticut Laud Co., organized at
Hartford in 1795, are contained in the recent publication of the
Western Reserve Historical Society, and other documents of
interest to Connecticut people are to be found in earlier publi-
cations of the same Society.

Among books of Connecticut interest that have been
received are the History of Berlin from our member, Miss
Galpin, and Mrs. Newton's book of stories entitled "Once
upon a time in Connecticut " from the Connecticut Society of
Colonial Dames."

Through the courtesy of Vice- President Bowen the Society
has been able to secure the privilege of copying the diary of
John May, one of the early settlers of Woodstock, covering
the years 1710 to 1 7 1 7. In addition to the " line a day "
entries of doings and happenings there are man}* pages of
accounts, showing what was used and the price of labor and
various commodities in Connecticut two centuries ago.
Numerous words now obsolete and quaint usages of other
words occur in the diary.

Our accessions for the year, without taking account of the
manuscripts, have been by gift, including the publications of
other institutions to which our own publications are sent, 430
volumes, 529 pamphlets and 60 miscellaneous items; by pur-
chase 84 volumes, 74 pamphlets and 47 miscellaneous; by ex-
change one miscellaneous; making a total of 514 volumes, 603
pamphlets and 10S miscellaneous, and a grand total of 1,225
items.

The purchases include 14 volumes bought with income from
the Brainard Fund; seven from the Goldthwaite Fund; two

Documents relating to the Baptist church in Bristol.

The total number of our readers for the past year has been
3,010, a decrease of about twelve per cent, as compared with
the previous year. This decrease may be partially accounted
for by the long continued absence of several who for some
years had been almost daily visitors at the library.

The family genealogies added to the library during the
past year are Abbe, Ackley, Anderson and others, Andrews,
Ayres, Babcock and Main, Barber, Belmont, Briggs, Brown,
Chadbourne, Chase, Clarke, Converse, Coolidge, Cummings,
Dwight and others, Eddy, Ela, Fenton, Fenwick Ancestry,
Ford, Gallatin and Nicholson Ancestry, Greene, Hawes,

Henry, Hooper, Huntington, Hurd, Lewis, Lincoln, Lock-
wood, Mason, Moore, Morrell, Newkirk and others, Paddle-
ford, Pinkham, Perkins, Pomeroy, Pratt, Rand, Robinson,
Roome, Ryerson, Sampson, Shaw, Slade, Sprague, Tenney,
Tower, Ware, Whitmarsh, Winchester.

The necessity for increase of shelf space to accommodate the
growth of our library is greater each year than it was the
previous year; while the lack of space for the older and less
used portions of the library, which has been mentioned in
previous reports, still continues. A movement was started
recently to endeavor to increase our shelf space, but the sud-
den death of our President brought it to a standstill for the
time being.

In closing, I wyish to express my feeling of personal loss in
the death of our honored president, Rev. Samuel Hart, wdio
had been an officer of the Society during the whole period of
my membership and had filled our highest official position
during the last sixteen years, and of whom both as a friend
and as my superior officer I can speak only with the pleasautest
recollections and in the highest terms.

Respectfully submitted,

Albert C. Bates, Librariaii.

presibent's Ctbbress.

A year ago you honored me with an election as President
of the Connecticut Historical Society. I regarded it as a great
honor to be in succession to the many distinguished men who
had preceded me in the office. Reasons were given to me why
I could be of service, and I accepted the office in that hope.

Tonight I am expected under your practice as I under-
stand to make a report of our activities and record of the past
year.

I wish to say frankly that I have not been able to render
the service that I had hoped to accomplish. I have been
hardly more than a presiding officer at your monthly meetings.

This Society has had in its purpose a great field and a great
work, and much has been done along these lines in the past.
In looking back over the personnel of the men who in the past
accomplished much for the Society I have found many most
distinguished names: several Governors of the State, the
Episcopal Bishop of this Diocese, members of Congress, men
high in the legislative branch of our State Government, men
always active in whatever promoted the interests of our City,
antiquarians, historians and prominent men of affairs.

After my temporary acceptance of the presidency I was very
anxious to secure for the office in my place a man who had
earned a lasting reputation as a distinguished historian, a man
well known not only in our own local circles, but widely
throughout our state and among the historical societies of our
country. Many of you will remember that I conferred with
you to see if it was possible to secure his acceptance of the
office which I held.

Unfortunately, death has removed him from our circle, and
the inquiry returns: where can we find a man properly quali-
fied to fill this position? Until we find him, how can I best
serve the Society ?

As a corollary to the old saying that "A new broom sweeps
clean," is it not true that a new official should bring in some
new ideas and suggest more or less criticism upon conditions
as he finds them to exist ?

The criticism which I have to offer is not one of persons nor
a criticism of any work which has been accomplished nor of
that which has been neglected by any officer or member of this
Society. It is a criticism of present conditions resulting
largely from the impoverished condition of our finances.

This Society was organized " for the purpose of discovering,
procuring and preserving materials for the civil, ecclesiastical
and natural history of the United States, and especially of the
State of Connecticut." To accomplish this much has been
done in the past, and much remains to be done in the future,
but nothing can be accomplished without sufficient funds
therefor.

We have to-day two funds, — a publication fund, and a general
administration fund.

In the first or Publication Fund we have on hand today a
balance of $7,459.90, an increase of about $950 during the
year. This will be somewhat reduced by the expense of the
publication of the "Governor Thomas Fitch" papers, which
are now being prepared and edited by Mr. Bates.

Is it not advisable at this time to consider the question of
other publications ?

It has been suggested by one of our Vice-Presidents that we
should undertake a work which several other Historical Socie-
ties are now doing, — 'that is the issuing of photographic copies
of very early newspapers.

We have a splendid opportunity here in our Society in such
publication of the early issues of the Hartford " Courant."

It has also been suggested that we undertake the publica-
tion of a somewhat fragmentary history of one of the oldest
towns in our state and county, the material for which was pre-
pared by one well qualified for the work, who has recently
died, and which is the only material now available.

Both of these works are in the line of the purposes of our
organization; and in Mr. Bates we have a man exceedingly
well qualified to edit, superintend and issue such publications.

In our General Account we have a balance on hand of
$2,371, an increase of over $800 during the year.

This brings me to a friendly criticism upon our present
arrangement for inspection, examination and preservation of
our books, manuscripts and articles of great value in our col-
lection. Our reading and consulting room is now in first-class
condition, well adapted for its purpose. Our storerooms are,
however, in a chaotic condition owing to the fact that we have
not sufficient stacks and shelving for the proper collection and
exhibition of our books and pamphlets.

We have some most valuable papers which seldom see the
light of day. How many of you know that we have the orig-
inal contract executed with the Marquis de Lafayette under
which he came to America to assist our forces in the Revolu-
tion ? This document was deposited with the Connecticut
Historical Society by the United States Government. It is
safely preserved in one of our vaults, as it should be.

My suggestion is that a handsome photographic copy of
that paper should be obtained and then framed and huug in a
prominent place in our gallery where it can be examined from
time to time by those who may take an interest therein. So
of many other very important papers which cannot be contin-
uously exhibited in our gallery through fear of their destruc-
tion by fire. I think photographic copies of every one of them
should be made, framed and hung.

There are possibly some other treasures which we have which
can only be exhibited in the original. I would suggest the
purchase of two small glass movable cases mounted on rubber
wheels, so that the cases can be rolled out from the vaults in
the morning and rolled back upon the closing of the rooms in
the afternoon, to the end that the public may have an oppor-
tunity to see these things which have been given to our
Society lor exhibition and not merely for preservation. In this
way we can exhibit them and at the same time properly pro-
tect them.

And this leads me to another suggestion. I think it was
not intended that our Society should become a general museum
of curios. We can never keep abreast of the important muse-
ums of our country.

We have some articles of great historical interest, which
inspire to patriotism, and which are properly exhibited in our
gallery, but I think that you will agree with me that there
are manv things there exhibited which have no historical

interest. Some of them belong more in the line of natural
history.

It is hoped by many that in the near future a Natural
History Building may be added to the group under the control
of the Wads worth Athenaeum, and if such a building is erected
I think it will be very desirable to ask for one room therein
where the Connecticut Historical Society can gather and
exhibit its curios and its collection along the lines of natural
history.

In our storerooms I would suggest putting in either steel
stacks or, if they are too expensive at this time, that wooden
stacks be provided for the proper collection, exhibition and
arrangement of the books and papers now stored there.

In my opinion, the wooden stacks will add nothing to the
fire risk over the risk that now exists.

I desire also to impress upon you the advisability of increas-
ing our friendly association and collaboration with other socie-
ties organized for similar purposes. We have, I believe, and
always have had a Vice-President from every County in the
State, but with the exception of the Honorable Vice-President
from Fairfield County and the distinguished Vice-President
from Middlesex County, I think we have seldom been favored
at our meetings with the presence of any of the Vice- Presidents
from the other Counties.

I would like to get into more active friendly relations with
the Historical Societies in the other Counties. I would like
Committees appointed to make friendly visits from time to
time, giving notice in advance so that we may meet the offi-
cials of the respective Societies. I would like also to extend
to them on behalf of this Society an invitation for a return
visit when we may entertain them here in Hartford.

I want to help and I ask your assistance to put the Connec-
ticut Historical Society on the historical visitorial map. I
would like also to exchange with them not only our publica-
tions, but our photographic copies of important papers in our
custody, for instance, the Lafayette contract.

It will take some of our general balance on hand to pay
these expenses, but the result, however, in my opinion, will
fully justify the expenditure.

We are fortunate to-night in the election as Corresponding
Secretary of a literary gentleman, who I assume will take

pleasure in advancing our acquaintance with other Societies
through friendly correspondence. Along these general lines
there is work for all of us.

The above are some of the somewhat crude and disconnected
ideas of your President for the past year, who I understand
is recommended for a continuance in office for another year.
If I remain by your pleasure I desire to be something more
than a bump on a historical log; and therefore I have thrown
out these suggestions to you for such consideration as they
may deserve.

I understand that it is customary for the President in his
address to recapitulate the activities of the Society, giving also
a record of its membership during the past year. The follow-
ing have been furnished to me by our Secretary:

STATISTICS OK MEMBERSHIP.

Pining the year now closing 13 members, one of whom was
a life member, have died, and the previous death of one cor-
responding member has been noted. Four active members
have resigned and the names of three have been dropped from
our roll. Expiration of term of office and formal resignation
have removed two of our ex-officio members. The name of

one ex-officio member has been added to our roll; seven active
members have been elected, and one who had been an annual
paying member became a life member. The Society now
numbers 18 ex officio members, 329 active members, of whom
33 are life members; one honorary and six corresponding
members; a total of 353 members of all classes, one of the
ex officio being also an active member.

OBITUARY.

The death on December 23, 191 6, of our corresponding
member, Hon. George Sheldon of Deerfield and Boston,
Mass., at the advanced age of ninety-eight years, removed a
well known antiquarian whose name had been on our rolls for
twenty-seven years.

Thirteen active members have died during the past year.
Their names are given in the order of their election, namely:

Patrick Henry Woodward, of Hartford, the senior
member of the society, having been elected in 1864, a man of
antiquarian tastes and for many years an officer of the Connec-
ticut General Life Insurance Company, died September 4, 191 7.

James Brewster Cone, of Hartford, a member for a third
of a century, for many years Secretary of the Wadsworth
Athenaeum, died March 20, 19 18.

Rev. William De Loss Love, of Hartford, elected 1886,
for twenty-four years the society's Corresponding Secretary,
died April 8, 1918. He was a well known writer upon histor-
ical subjects. Since his retirement from the pastorate of the
Immauuel Congregational Church in Hartford he had served
the Connecticut Humane Society as its president.

Julius Gay, of Farmington, elected 1887, a gentleman of
literary tastes and widely known as the authority on the
history and genealogy of his town, died May 2, 1918.

Everett Selden Geer, elected 1889, a member of the
Hartford Printing Company, publishers of the City directory,
always a good friend to this Society, died October 24, 191 7.

Mary Kingsbury Talcott, of Hartford, elected 1890,
the second lady admitted to membership in the Society, widely
known as an authority on family history and author or editor
of a number of historical works, died November 17, 191 7.

15

Henry Preston Hitchcock, a well known business man

of Hartford, elected 1890, died November 18, 191 7.

Ralph William Cutler, elected 1893, prominent among
the bankers of Hartford, died November 7, 191 7.

Joseph Forsyth Swords, a member for life, admitted
1893; sometime a resident of Hartford, later in charge of the
Orville H. Piatt National Park in Oklahoma, died at his
home in Dallas, Texas, July 9, 191 7.

Frank Hepp Stadtmueller, of Klmwood, elected 1903,
a man of scientific tastes and attainments and at the time of
his death an official of the State, died January 10, 1918.

Everett James McKmght, a prominent surgeon of
Hartford, elected 1905, died December 25, 1917.

Albert Hastings Pitkin, of Hartford, curator of the
Wadsworth Athenaeum, an authority on pottery and a connois-
seur on numerous other subjects, elected 1907, died October
14. 1917-

Lena Louise Barbour, of Hartford, wife of Collin H.
Barbour, elected 1914, died January 1, 1918.

It will be noticed that our membership has decreased during
the year. Can we not commence an active campaign to
increase our membership? We need not only the financial
assistance, which last year amounted to $747, but more than
that we need the literary and business assistance, of which
there is so great an abundance in storage in Hartford.

librarian's Report.

Mr. President and Members of the Society:

The activities and growth of this society and its library
during the year now closing, as has been the case with perhaps
every similar society and library, have been unfavorably
affected by this world crisis of war through which we are now
passing. There has been a smaller number of readers than
usual, and a less number of donors. We are living so much
in the present, and making so much and so important history
from day to day, that interest in earlier history has for the
moment been to some extent relegated to the background.

Because of coal shortage and the wish to conserve, the rooms
of the society were closed during the so called " heatless
Mondays" of the past winter; our exhibition hall was closed
on December fifth and was not reopened again, except on the
days of the society's monthly meetings, until April first. Dur-
ing the same period the lights in the chandelier in the library
were not used, except during the monthly meetings.

The special work to which much time has been devoted
during the year by your librarian and editor, has been the
gathering, preparing for the press, arranging and editing of
the correspondence and documents of the Colony of Connecti-
cut, chiefly of an official nature, during the governorship of
Thomas Fitch. This covers the period from May 1754 to
May 1766, when his action regarding the enforcement of the
obnoxious Stamp Act caused his defeat for the governorship.
The documents gathered will make two volumes of our " Col-
lections." The first of these is entirely completed and ready
for the press, and about 150 pages of it are already printed or
in type. The 'work on the second volume is well along and
will probably be completed by the coming autumn. Much of
the actual copying of the documents for these two volumes has
been done by Miss Alice M. Gay. In addition to the Fitch

papers in this society's archives, copies of a large number were
received from the State Paper Office and other depositories in
London, from the Massachusetts Historical Society, from the
Connecticut State Library and from the Massachusetts Depart-
ment of Achives, and copies of a smaller number from sundry
other sources. As would be expected, a considerable number
of the documents of this period relate to the war with the
French and Indians. Among the documents received from
London are copies of the rolls of several Connecticut compa-
nies, which are not found in the society's two volumes of
French and Indian War Rolls; also the complete rolls of two
regiments on which the town whence every man came is noted.
The plans of the annual campaigns, the urgent calls for troops,
the expenses and sacrifices, the numerous failures and disap-
pointments and the occasional successes of the war will all be
pictured in these volumes; as will also the ending of the con-
troversy over the Spanish boat in New London harbor, which
had cost Roger Wolcott the governorship, and the excitement
over the passage and expected endeavor to enforce the Stamp
Act.

From the estate of Miss Mary K. Talcott, the second woman
to be elected to membership in the society, we have received
by her direction a small handsome pastel portrait of Miss
Talcott's great-great-uncle, Jared Goodrich (i 769-1 804) of
Glastonbury. He is represented half length in a brilliant blue
coat, a white vest with dark dots, a ruffled shirt and high
cravat, and a gray wig gathered into a peruke at the back.
He is understood to have been the owner of a sailing sloop,
and the portrait was probably done abroad by a French artist.
We also received a small half length portrait of her grand-
father, Russell Talcott of Glastonbury. He is shown in a
black suit with high white collar and cravat and with his dark
hair curling low over his forehead. The work appears to be
water color executed with a very fine brush. The face is
slightly tinted and freckles appear to have been put on it in a
most realistic manner. Another gift from Miss Talcott's
estate is a rather plain but delicately built roundabout or coi-
ner chair which belonged to her great-great-grandfather.
Col. Elizur Talcott (.1709-1797) of Glastonbury. He was a
man of considerable wealth and prominence and saw service
in the French War and the Revolution.

Another of our members, Miss Mary Clark, has bequeathed
to us two handsome chairs of the Chippendale style and period.
One of them, called by her a " Washington chair," dates from
about the beginning of the Revolution, It has for its back
four bow shaped rails so cut that they seem to entwine at their
centers. The other, called the Seymour chair, dating from a
little later period, has the usual wide splat in the back cut in
a scroll pattern and at the center of the top a pineapple
design.

From Miss Mary Dexter of Danielson, now deceased, we
have received an interesting little oak box of American make
dating from about the year 1700. It is unusually small, being
less than one foot in length. The front is slightly carved and
colored and bears the letters E. H. As the Hales were among
Miss Dexter' s ancestors, the letters may indicate that the
original owner of the box was one of that family.

The family of the late Mrs. Arthur L. Goodrich has given
us a handsome colonial slant top desk which had descended to
Mrs. Goodrich from her great-great-grandfather, Col. Thomas
Knowlton, of Ashford, the well known patriot of the Revolu-
tion. With its handsome brasses, its unusual arrangement of
two long and four short drawers in the lower part and the
peculiar "well" in the desk part, it is of much interest as a
piece of furniture, aside from its historical association.

From Mrs. Sara T. Kinney we received a handsome table
top made from a cross section of live oak. It had been pre-
sented to her by the Veteran Association St. Mary's Cannon-
eers of Louisiana in gratitude for her care of the old flag of the
company, and in recognition of its return by her husband, the
late Maj. John C. Kinney. Mrs. Kinney has also given us a
number of war and other medals and a collection of badges.

Miss Mary E. Hastings of New Haven has given us a minia-
ture portrait of William Henry Lawrence, who died at the age
of three years, son of William and Alice Adams Lawrence
and grandson of treasurer John Lawrence. The child' smother
had been affianced to Nathan Hale, the martyr spy.

Among books of Connecticut interest that have come to hand,
in addition to numerous state and departmental publications,
may be mentioned the New Haven town records, 1 649-1 662,
from the New Haven Colony Historical Society; Vital records
of New Haven, 1649-1850, volume 1; Records of the original

proprietors of the Ohio Company; Rural life in Litchfield
County by Charles S. Phelps, from the Litchfield County
University Club; Lyman's Journal of a voyage to California
from Hartford in 1852, from Dr. E. 1*. H. Griswold, Niagara
Falls, X.Y.; John Rogers' Book of the Revelations, the second
edition, printed at New London in 1S17, of a rare Rogerine
book, the first edition of which is not known to be extant;
Chronicles of a Connecticut farm, located in vSalem, by Mary
E Perkins, one of an edition of fifty copies, given by Mary
K. Talcott.

The American I [istorical Society of New York has presented
us with the Encyclopedia of Connecticut biography, Encyclo-
pedia of biography of New York, Encyclopedia of Pennsylva-
nia biography, Genealogical history of Fayette and Greene
Counties, Pennsylvania, Standard history of freemasonry in
New York and Stackpole's History of New Hampshire, in all

to the thirtieth regiment, located in the vicinity of New London,
about 1798-1815.

Documents relating to Norwich, Groton and Stonington, including
early deeds, grants, accounts, Indian petitions and accounts,
letters including correspondence relating to the direct tax,
early aqueduct accounts, church papers etc., relating in part
to the Palmer, Geer and Morgan families.

purchase, Jan. 20, 1797.

Plots of the township of Bidwell, Jan. 11, 1797; of the township of
Shaler, and of the whole Delaware purchase.

Last spring Mr. Trescott C. Barnes of Riverton, one of our
members, finding himself physically incapacitated for carrying
on his genealogical work, presented us with the manuscript
Barnes records upon the compilation of which he had labored
for nearly half a century, whenever time could be spared from
his regular business of a lumberman. Many times after
laboring all day in the woods, has he spent a good portion of
the night in work upon these records, and the correspondence
which the gathering of them entailed. They include manu-
scripts of the "Barnes families of Long Island," "Thomas

Barnes of Hartford genealogy," "Thomas Barnes of Marl-
borough, Mass., and some of his descendants," " Descendants
of Stephen Barnes of Branford, Conn.," and " Detached notes "
on Barnes genealogy. All of these are fully indexed. A list
of addresses of all correspondents accompanied the genealogies.
Mr. Barnes has retained for the present the manuscripts of the
family from which he is descended, that of " Thomas Barnes
of New Haven." Accompanying these manuscripts, Mr.
Barnes presented us with numerous copies, for disposal by
exchange or sale, of the "Barnes family year book, volumes
i, 2, 3, edited and issued by him when secretary and gene-
alogist of the Barnes Family Association.

Genealogies of the Barnes, Campbell, Cobb, Corbett, Cash-
ing, Emmons, Genung, Lambert, Lawson, Lincoln, Miller,
Mitchell, Montgomery, Palmer, Park, Skidmore, Talbot,
Turner, and Yale families have been added during the year.
Historical books, particularly genealogies, have been affected
by the present general rise in prices, and the prices now asked
for many of them are prohibitive of their purchase unless
funds for the purpose are almost unlimited.

Our collection of early Connecticut imprints has been
increased by the addition of publications of the dates of 1761,
1764, 1785, 1789, 1790, 1793(2), 1794(2), 1797, 1798, 1800,
[1800?].

From the Hartford Printing Company, EHhu Geer's Sons,
we have received their annual donation of directories of other
cities and towns, comprising ninety-seven volumes; and from
the family of the late Fverett S. Geer thirty-six miscellaneous
volumes and pamphlets, besides a few duplicates.

The purchases from the income of the Lucy A. Braiuard
Book Fund are the following ten volumes:

Town records of Toprsfield, Mass., vol. 1, 1659-1737.

Vital records of Charlemont, Mass.

Vital records of East Bridgewater, Mass.

Vital records of Gloucester, Mass., Vol. 1.

Vital records of Hardwick, Mass.

Vital records of Milford, Mass.

Vital records of Salem, Mass., vol. 2.

Vital records of Stoneham, Mass.

Vital records of Windsor, Ma>>.

Waters, T. F. Ipswich in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, vol. 2.

The Vital records of New Haven, 1 649-1 850, vol. 1, and
Records and files of the Quarterly Court of Essex County,
Mass., vol. 5, 1 672-1 674, have been purchased with income
from the Charles J. Hoadly Fund.

The accessions for the year have been by gift 380 volumes,
699 pamphlets and 145 miscellaneous including leaflets, procla-
mations, bank bills, broadsides and medals; by exchange
four volumes and three pamphlets; by purchase 137 volumes,
157 pamphlets and five miscellaneous, including the twelve
volumes credited to the Brainard and Hoadly funds. This
makes a total of 521 volumes, 859 pamphlets and 150 miscel-
laneous, and a grand total of 1,530 items; about twenty-five
per cent, more than last year.

The total number of our readers during the year has been
2,494. This is a decrease of about seventeen per cent, from
the number for last year.

I venture to call attention again to the deplorable lack of
necessary shelf room and space for our books, in consequence
of which the work of the library is seriously hampered and the
conditions are growing worse from year to year.

Respectfully submitted,

Albert C. Bates, Librarian.

president's Ctbbress.

In presenting to you a report for the past year of the activi-
ties of the Society I regret that my report is necessarily more
of a negative one than one of positive accomplishment.

Last January I received the honor of the election as Presi-
dent of the Wadsworth Athenaeum, of which corporation I had
been the First Vice-President for many years.

In view of the relative interests of the two corporations
under the deed of gift of Daniel Wadsworth and also of the
supplementary contracts between this Society and the Wads-
worth Athenaeum, it seems to me that it would not be proper
for one person to be at the same time president of both.

My knowledge of the relations of the Athenaeum to the con-
stituent corporations in the building, to the Colt Memorial
and the Morgan Memorial, seemed to require that I should
remain in the service of the Athenaeum.

Therefore on the 3d day of February, 19 19, I handed to the
Secretary my resignation as President of this Society, giving
in full my reasons therefor. Your Society very graciously
appreeiated my position, but requested that I would continue
as President until the annual meeting, so that it might have
the longer time in which to select a president, and I have
therefore very cheerfully acquiesced in the request.

Under the circumstances I did not deem it proper to urge
the execution of many of the suggestions which I had made
in my last annual report with reference to matters of this
Society, believing it better to leave the same for the approval
and for the execution — where approved — by my successor.

Personally I still believe that the reconstruction of our
Library of Reference is absolutely necessary-, and this will
necessitate largely increased shelf accommodation and the
rearrangement of many of our recent acquisitions. I also
still believe that souk- scheme can be devised for the exhibi-
tion of many of our valuable treasures which now necessarily

are kept in our vaults and of which there are but few — even
of our members— who have knowledge thereof.

The publication of many of our valuable papers has contin-
ued under the able editorship of Mr. Bates. I fear that, except
in this line, we have not progressed.

I still think that we should make our existence better known
among the historical societies of the State and of other states;
that this should be done by more frequent correspondence; by
visitation and by interchange of speakers and reports.

I have taken the liberty of repeating my suggestions of a
year ago so that they may come to the knowledge of my suc-
cessor as subjects for his consideration.

It is customary, I understand, to make formal report of the
events happening during the year. The following have been
furnished me by our Secretary.

Mr. President and Members of the Society:

It is true of the year now closing, as it was of the preceding
year, that the use, growth and general activities of the library
have been unfavorably affected by the war crisis through which

we have been passing'. Many of those who otherwise might
have been our readers were busy with varied war activities;
the general rise in prices has placed many books, particularly
the new genealogies, at almost prohibitive prices, and the
interest in local history, genealogy and kindred lines of study-
appears not to have been as great or as widespread.

Our annual report for 1917—1918, a pamphlet of forty-three
pages recounting the society's activities for the year, was pub-
lished last July. The seventeenth volume of our series of
"Collections," which was noted in the report of last year as
in press, has been completed and issued. It comprises the
official correspondence and documents of the Colony during
the first part of Thomas Fitch's governorship of Connecticut,
[754-1758. It makes, with the preliminary matter and index,
a volume of 460 pages. The copy for the second and conclud-
ing volume of the " Fitch Papers" has been prepared, and
the first part of it is already in the printer's hands. The work
on these volumes has occupied much time during the past year,
as has also the arrangement and listing of the genealogical man-
uscripts and the arrangement of the historical manuscripts
which have been received.

Mr. William R. C. Corson of Hartford has presented us with
a large picture of the Landing of the Atlantic Cable at Trinity
Bay, August 5, [856, painted by George W. Flagg, The
painting was made for the donor's great-grandfather, James
Brewster of New Haven, and came to him recently from
the estate of his uncle, James Brewster Cone of Hartford, who

for many years was a member of the Society. By agreement
of all the parties concerned the painting has been loaned for
the present to the Wadsworth Athenaeum, and is now hung in
the Morgan Memorial.

A portrait of the late Seth H. Clark, a well known wood
engraver and life long resident of Hartford, has been presented
by his sou, Mr. Fred Spencer Clark of New Haven and Hart-
ford. The painting is believed to be the work of some local
artist.

We have loaned to the Wadsworth Athenaeum for exhibition
the following articles: the "Washington chair," so called,
bequeathed by Miss Mary Clark of Hartford; the silver com-
munion service of the Westchester church, presented by Mrs.
Leverett Brainard of Hartford as a memorial of her husband,
Hon. Leverett Brainard and of his sister, Lucy A. Brainard;
a silver cup or "can" once the property of Thomas Welles
( 1692-1767) of Glastonbury, presented by Miss Mary Dexter
of Danielson; a silver creamer once the property of Gov. Jon-
athan Trumbull, Sr., presented by Mrs Jane (McClellan)
Weaver; a pewter tankard inscribed " The Gift of John Hall
Esq'r to the Second Church in Wallingford 1725," and
another smaller pewter tankard without inscription.

It seems worthy of note that this library contains eighteen
incunabula — books printed in the fifteenth century— and that
three of these, as is shown from a check list recently issued by
the American Bibliographical Society, are the only copies
known to be owned in the United States or Canada. All of
these incunabula came to the society from the library of Rev.
Thomas Robbins, its first librarian.

On the recommendation of President Gross the Society has
subscribed for the " Chronicles of America " series, now being
issued by the Yale Press. Ours is believed to be the only
set of this work owned in Hartford.

Our unrivaled collection of eighteenth century Connecticut
imprints has been increased by the addition of eight items, two
of them almanacs, of the following years: 1745(7), 1770, 1785,
1787, 1790, 1794, 1795, 1798.

Among the books of Connecticut interest that wye have
acquired are Connecticut in Transition, 1 775—1818, by Richard
J. Pureed; Early American Folk Pottery including Bennington

by <mr late- member, Albert Hastings Pitkin, presented by
Mrs. Pitkin, who completed the work after her husband's
death; New England and the Bavarian Illumaniti, presented
by Vernon Stauffer, its author; Connecticut session laws,
[731-1749, reissued in facsimile, presented 1 in part I by Albert
C. Bates; A Selection from the Miscellaneous Historical Papers
of Fifty Years, presented by Franklin B. Dexter, their author;
Life and Pettersof Simeon Baldwin, presented by Hon. Simeon
E. Baldwin, its author; Papers of the New Haven Colony
Historical Society, vol. 9, presented by the society; Ancient
Burying Grounds of Waterbury, presented by the compiler.
Miss Katharine A. Prichard; History of Fast Haven by Sarah
E. Hughes. We have also secured wall maps, published sixty
or more years ago, of Litchfield, New Haven and Tolland
counties.

From the Hartford Printing Company, Elihu Geer Sons, we
have received a valuable annual gift of directories of different
cities, sixty-four in all. A large number of publications on
the war and related subjects have been received from various
sources. A goodly number of additions has been made to our
collection of Connecticut almanacs.

The printed genealogies added to our collection are of the
families of Almy, Andrews, Barrett, Borden, Corbett, Doe,
Fisher, Gary, Gillmore, Higgins, Hubbard, Jones, Northrup,
Porter, Seymour, Stone, and Vaughan.

The purchases made with the income of the Lucy A. Brainard
Book Fund are as follows:

Vital records of Carlisle, Mass.
Vital records of Harvard, Mass.
Vital records of Shirley, Mass.
Vital records of West Newbury, Mass.
Vital records of Westport, Mass.

Records and files of the Quarterly Court of Essex Count}',
Mass., vol. 6, 1675-1678, was purchased with income from the
Charles J. Hoadly Fund, and the Gregory Stone Genealogy
with income from the William F. J. Boardman Fund.

The accessions to the library during the year, exclusive of
manuscripts, have been by gift 31.; volumes, 756 pamphlets
and 122 miscellaneous items; by purchase 117 volumes, ro8
pamphlets and 21 miscellaneous, including the seven volumes

credited to particular funds. This makes a total of 430 vol-
umes, 864 pamphlets and 143 miscellaneous, and a grand total
of 1.437 items. This is about seven percent, less than the
total for last year.

The manuscript material acquired during the year is of wide
and varied interest, and is probably the most important that
has been received during any single year of my connection
with the society — now a period of three decades — and possibly
with two exceptions the most important during any year of
the society's existence. A summarizing of some of the most
notable documents and series, in addition to the more formal
list, may be of interest.

Mr. Donald Lines Jacobus, a well known genealogist of
New Haven, in May of last year, as he was soon to enter mili-
tary service, placed with us his extensive collection of genea-
logical compilations and copies of vital records, principally of
the towns of New Haven County. These were received as a
gift, but were made subject to certain conditions. The princi-
pal condition is that during the lifetime of the donor's mother
a fee " of one dollar per hour or fraction of an hour " shall be
charged by the Society for their use, and the amount so
received is to be paid to Mrs. Jacobus. A second condition is
that Mr. Jacobus shall have the privilege of temporarily
removing any of these records from the custody of the society
for the purpose of amplifying and correcting them.

In June Mrs. Julius Gay of Farmington presented us with
the genealogical and local historical collections gathered and
arranged by her late husband, who was an honored member
of the society for more than thirty years, and for many years
one of its officers. Mr. Gay's special interest was in his native
town of Farmington, and for half a century he had gathered
historical material relating to it and genealogical material
relating to its families and to the descendants of those who
had gone out from its borders. His interest was not entirely
confined to Farmington, for he copied records from nearly all
the nearby towns, and from not a few located at some distance
from his home. All were copied, arranged and indexed in the
methodical, painstaking manner that was characteristic of the
man. They comprise So volumes of copies and compilations
of records, historical material and indexes, and genealogical

compilations of 90 different families. Some of these compila-
tions cover not more than two or three pages, while others
form a good sized (unbound) volume of more than one hun-
dred pages. During the same month Mrs. Frank A. Hamil-
ton of Warehouse Point gave us the genealogical manuscripts
of her brother, the late James Allen Kibbe, a well known gen-
ealogist, and for twenty-two years a member of the society.
These comprise genealogical gatherings on 22 families, some
of them well compiled and others consisting of unarranged
memoranda; also numerous genealogical note books, miscella-
neous memoranda and letters. From Mr. James Shepard of
Xew Britain, who has been on our membership roll for more
than a quarter century, we have received genealogical com-
pilations and notes on 27 families, four ancestral charts and
numerous miscellaneous genealogical notes. Mr. Lawrence
VanAlstyne of Sharon, for twenty-four years a life member of
the society, is now retiring from genealogical work and has
given us the extensive collection of genealogical material,
chiefly gathered and compiled by him for and in cooperation
with the late William Ogden Wheeler of Sharon, a former
life member of the society. This material relates primarily
to the various families of Ogdens throughout the country, and
is so extensive that it seems as if scarcely a person of the name
could have escaped; but a number of other families are also
included. A number of the volumes are in duplicate for
apparently one copy did not always satisfy Mr. Wheeler's
ideas. The books range in size from thick folios, down through
quartos of moderate thickness to small, thin octavos. Large
and small, including duplicates, genealogies arranged in
" parts," a series of field note books and about a dozen charts,
they comprise 200 volumes or lesser divisions. The wealth of
Ogden genealogical material here gathered can scarcely be
overestimated. A series of Owen family papers presented by
Miss Lena Owen of Suffield are interesting for the local histori-
cal material they contain, including data about copper ore
mined at Simsbury. A considerable number of Bristol deeds
and town papers, presented by our member, Garrett \V. F.
Blanchfield, which once belonged to a former member now
deceased, Hon. Roswell Atkins, contain many items of local
interest. The autograph poems by Hon. Theodore Tilton
and Mrs. Elizabeth Akers and the series of autograph letter-

of prominent men of the civil war period, presented by the
late Gilbert A. Tracy of Putnam, through his daughter Mary
Clemmer Tracy, are of much interest and represent considerable
value to the collector of autographs. Our president, Charles
E. Gross, Esq., showed his appreciation of the Society as the
proper custodian of valuable documents when he presented us
last autumn with the extremely important series of letters
comprising the correspondence of the late Col. Samuel Colt of
Hartford. These letters cover approximately the period of
1830-1861; and range from the time when Colt as a young
and struggling inventor was endeavoring to establish in a small
way the manufacture of his fire arms, to the time when he
was having large and important dealings with the United
States government, and extending his activities to foreign
countries. The variety and importance of his interests will
appear more in detail in the list of manuscripts printed on a
later page. A few weeks ago Miss Freda D. Sanford of Derby,
acting as executrix, placed with us the extensive correspond-
ence of her father, the late Hon. Henry Shelton Sanford
( 1 823-1 891) of Derby, diplomat, attorney, author and busi-
ness man. This correspondence is so voluminous that I have
not as yet had opportunity to arrange or even to examine it.
It is without doubt of wide and varied historical interest, as
would be expected where its recipient had been officially con-
nected on behalf of the United States with several of the prin-
cipal Courts of Europe, in addition to having interests in the
Congo region of Africa, in Venezuela, in the early efforts to
construct a canal or railroad across Panama, in the west-
ern lands of the United States and in the development of
Florida. There was recently accessioned and arranged an im-
portant collection of manuscripts relating to the War of 18 12,
which had been received some time previously from the estate
of Miss Margaret M. VanDeursen of Middletown. They all
relate to Connecticut, the greater part of them to Captain
William VanDeursen's company, and they show record of
service by many men whose names do not appear in the offi-
cially published record. The bunch of miscellaneous docu-
ments from Stonington and vicinity are from the same source
as those noted in the report of last year, and serve to supple-
ment that collection. While of a very general nature they con-
tain some records and letters that fully justify their purchase.

A few other manuscripts have been purchased at very low
prices.

A more complete list of the manuscripts acquired with the
names of their donors is here given:

Almy genealogy, 1865. (4 pp.)

Ancestral lines of Leonard B. Almy, M. D., of Norwich.

The total number of our readers during the past year, count-
ing the same person but once in a day, was 2,341. This is a
decrease of about six per cent, from the number for the pre-
vious year.

The most crying need of the Society to-day is for more space,
particularly more shelf room. Our work is badly hampered
by lack of opportunity to shelve and arrange the treasures that
we already have, and every new accession, every gift or pur-
chase serves to increase our crowded condition. Unless some
relief comes to us it is to be feared that the growth and activi-
ties of the library must soon be greatly curtailed, and it is
even possible that they .may be completely smothered by the
superabundance of our riches combined with lack of space.

Respectfully submitted ,

Albert C. Bates. Librarian.

president's Ctbbress.

During the year which has just closed the Connecticut
Historical Society has pursued its usual way of peaceful and
orderly progress, under the experienced conduct of its capable
and industrious Librarian and Recording Secretary. To this
progress the present incumbent of your Presidency has thus
far offered equally little help or hindrance. The work of the
Society, and the possibility of its development have, neverthe-
less, been a subject of zealous contemplation.

In this relation I wish to give some expression, — though it
must necessarily be inadequate, — to ray feeling of gratitude
toward the members of this Society for overlooking my defici-
encies and permitting me to occupy for a time this place of
honor, which affords a delightfully congenial medium for in-
dulgence in a favorite diversion.

That the experiment ma}- in some way contribute to the
usefulness of the Connecticut Historical Society I earnestly
hope.

Many other members of this Society know more than I
about the particular field for helpfulness which belongs to it,
and the limitations, if any, which should be set to its expan-
sion. To me it seems that the Society has a prospect for even
greater service to this community than it has furnished in its
very useful past. This Library is centrally located, and easily
accessible for an hour of reading or research in the day of even
a busy man, for whom that form of relaxation has attractions
stronger than those of some more popular recreations. I have
never visited these rooms that I have not seen here men of
this type, besides men who are enjoying hours of lettered ease
in their years of retirement, ladies from both the busy and the
leisure classes, and often children and adults, — townsfolk or
strangers, — examining the spoils of time in which our collection
is so rich.

To all, this Library and this collection present one of the
many means for imparting a knowledge of the arduous and
costly process by which the government under which we live
has been established, developed and preserved. In this critical
period of our national life no agency whatsoever is to be lightly
esteemed which can contribute even in a small degree to this
vital comprehension.

If our institution can be of patriotic service as well as aca-
demic use, there is sound reason why it should share in the
development which is now proposed for the contiguous
institutions.

The accommodation of the public who make rare visits, and
of people who know what there is here and wish to make
frequent use of such benefits at convenient hours, would be
enhanced if we could afford an assistant to the present
Librarian. The Library and the historical treasures could be
more readily displayed and made more accessible if such space
as we have might be completely and systematically utilized,
as the Librarian has proposed. To do these things more
money is needed.

Perhaps a larger income might be obtained, the services of
the Society at the same time extended, and attention attracted
to its advantages, by measures for increasing the membership
of the Society. To bring about a fruitful consideration of
this project it is desirable that a committee should be named,
with power to carry out such plans as they may formulate,
for adding to the roll of membership.

In the last year fourteen new active members have been
added by election. The name of one active member tempo-
rarily off the roll has been restored. Five active members,
paying dues annually, have died, leaving a net increase of ten
in that class of membership. Two new ex-officio members
have been added by their appointment as judges of the Superior
Court. Judge Alberto T. Roraback has ceased to be an ex-
officio member by reason of his retirement from the bench
through age limitation August 23, 19 19.

The membership of the Society is now constituted by one
honorary member, 18 ex-officio members, two of whom are
also active members, and 328 active members, 32 of these being
life members. The number paying dues annually is therefore
296.

It seems as though this number might be promptly doubled

if the opportunity were generally presented for sharing in and
promoting so pleasant and important a work at the cost of
$3.00 for admission and $3.00 annual dues for residents of
Hartford, or $2.00 for members living outside the City.

At the monthly meetings held in the course of the year,
papers have been read as follows:

October 7, 1919 — The Birthplace of the Great Plot, by John

M. Holcombe.
November^ 1919 — History of the Northwest corner of Main

and Pearl Streets, Hartford, by George E. Hoadley.

Francis Parsons.
January 6, 1920 — The Huguenots in America, by Forrest

Morgan.

ment of the Russian Church, by Rev. Edwin Knox

Mitchell.
April 6, 1920 — The Barkhamsted Lighthouse, by Rev.

The Society has voted in the past year to publish the corres-
pondence of Joshua Huntington, mostly of the period of the
Revolution, which is owned by Roger Wolcott, of Boston, and
has been copied, edited and offered to us by Edward Gray of
Milton, Massachusetts.

It is proposed that the Society continue its publication of the
correspondence of our Colonial Governors by issuing that of
William Pitkin, Governor from May, 1766, to October, 1

The second volume of the Governor Thomas Fitch corres-
pondence ( 1 759-1 766) has been printed and is now in the
bindery.

librarian's Heport.

Mr. President and Members of the Society:

Once more the seasons have gone their round and another
year has been added to the life and to the history of this So-
ciety, which now is approaching the century anniversary of its
first organization and has passed four score years since its re-
organization to activity in 1839. It has had a history of which
its members may well be proud. Always poor from a financial
standpoint, frequently hampered by lack of room for expansion
and want of various facilities for its growth, it has, neverthe-
less, achieved an honorable name and reputation, and has
become the rich repository and in a sense the public trustee of
an interesting, valuable and rare collection of books, manu-
scripts and historical objects. Unfortunately the Society seems
occasionally to be like the prophet, better known and more
honored at a distance than in its own city of Hartford or
perhaps state of Connecticut.

The second volume of the Governor Thomas Fitch Papers,
covering the years 1759— 1766, and completing the period of
his governorship, has been printed; imfc' hmi not vut hem!
rmrirH fi in \\\ '"i 1 1 j 1 It forms a volume, including con-
tents and indices, of 477 pages. Included in it are the roll> of
several companies of Connecticut soldiers in the French and
Indian War which have not been previously printed. The
rolls of Col. Phineas Lyman's and Col. Nathan Whiting's
regiments in 1 76 1 , which appear in volume ten of the Society's
"Collections," are again printed in this volume because of the
additional information against each soldier's name of the town
from which he came. More than [750 soldiers names appear
in the volume. All of the rolls here printed are from official
copies on file in the Public Record Office, London. Our
annual report issued last July is a pamphlet of 4S pages con-
taining the usual reports and statistics regarding the Society.
The list of manuscript accessions which it contains is of unusual
length and interest.

n

Mention was made in my last report of the recent accession
of printed and manuscript material received from Miss Freda
D. Sanford of Derb)', which at that time had not been examined
or arranged. This material was selected from the extensive
library and from the voluminous correspondence of her father
Hon. Henry Shelton Sanford, LL. D., J. U. D., (1823-1891)
of Derby, diplomat, author, promoter and business man. Mr.
Sanford commenced his diplomatic career in 1847 as attache at
St. Petersburg; the next year he was acting Secretary at
Frankfort; from 1849 to 1S54 Secretary and charge at Paris;
kand 'minister to Belgium 1861-1869, where he negotiated and
'signed a number of treaties and conventions. He was very
active in the early efforts to establish railroad communication
from ocean to ocean either across the isthmus of Panama or
some of the adjoining Central American states. In 1859 he
was sent by the President to negotiate for the extension of the
Panama Railroad charter. He made several visits to Central
and South America in the interests of some extensive com-
mercial concessions in Venezuela and of the projected railroad.
His interests also included development of western railroads
and western lands in the United States. One of his business
ventures was a large sugar cane plantation in Eouisana. He
founded the city of Sanford, Florida, in 1870, where he en-
gaged extensively in orange culture and where he introduced
the culture of the lemon. In 1877 he was one of the founders
of the International African Association, now the Free State
)f the Congo, was a member of its executive committee, and
ras its plenipotentiary in Washington secured in 1884 the
recognition of its flag. He was one of the two delegates from
the United States to the Berlin Congo conference of 1S85,
which opened to free trade and neutrality a territory of 1,000,
000 square miles. The following year he organized and dis-
patched the "Sanford Exploring Expedition," whose boats
were the first commercial steamers floated on the upper Congo
river. He was interested in penology and the United States
government published a thick octavo volume written by him
on " Penal Codes in Europe, " also a volume treating of inter-
national law. The Sanford manuscripts, the gift of Miss
Sanford, acting as executrix, who desired that her father's
papers should find a permanent resting place in his native

15

state, comprise many thousands of letters, drafts of letters,
letter press copies, reports, journals, addresses and miscel-
laneous writings. They treat principally of the public affairs

in which he was engaged, and are particularly rich during the
period of the Civil war, when he appears to have been the
trusted confidential agent of the United States in Europe.
Practically every interest to which he devoted himself is
covered by a series of letters, and the names of many of the
important men of the period both in Kurope and the United
States are signed to some of them. Two examples will suffice.
( me is a volume of letters, many of them marked " Private, "
written by Secretary of State William H. Seward during the
Civil war; another is a package of letters written from the
interior of Africa by Henry M. Stanley. A more detailed list
of the manuscripts appears later in this report.

"To complete the gift," as Miss Sanford expressed it, of
her father's correspondence and manuscripts, the Society was
permitted to select and purchase from Mr. Sanford's library
1535 items of books, pamphlets, leaflets and maps, practically
all of which pertain to the same subjects covered by the manu-
scripts. There are numerous items relating to Belgium and
France and some to Russia and Germany; many concerning
Africa and the Congo, as well as the Berlin conference; nu-
merous works relating to Central and South American states.
in whose history and literature he appears to have been in-
terested; many pamphlets concerning ocean to ocean railroads:
many on the history and commercial prospects of Florida. A
series of bound volumes of pamphlets contain numerous unusual
Civil war items.

Among other gifts of manuscript worthy of particular
mention is that received from Miss May Bailey of Worees/er,
Mass., of numerous valuable copies of Connecticut vital rec-
ords, principally from early church records. These copies,
more than sixty in all, were made by or for her father, the
late Frederic William Bailey, who for twenty-eight years was
a member of this society, and were probably gathered by him
as he was preparing his volumes of Early Connecticut Mar-
riages for publication and as his genealogical research work
called him to different towns. In many instances these copies
are incomplete, only a portion of the record having been copied :

the intention probably being to complete the copy during some
later trip to the town, which was never made. Copies of some
of these church records were already in our possession from
other sources; but this gift adds numerous copies that are of
much value to the Society. The Bingham genealogy, pre-
sented by Gen. Theodore A. Bingham, is a much enlarged
revision of the work published by him in 1898. Mr. Castle's
History of Plainville is a work which does him credit both in
its accuracy and completeness and the care and style in which
the volume is prepared and illustrated. The five volumes of
Simonds or Symoiids genealogies compiled and presented by
Robert Hale Simonds are the result of many years of careful
research and labor and are very complete.

The genealogy of the Case families of America, to the com-
pilation of which Dr. Erastus E. Case had methodically devoted
the spare time of a score of years of his busy life, has been
placed with the Society by Mrs. Case. This carefully arranged
and typewritten manuscript is very extensive, filling thirty-
three typewriter-paper boxes, besides some miscellaneous mat-
ter and two thick bound volumes of index. The sudden death
of Dr. Case, who had been a member of this Society for fourteen
years, prevented the realization of his cherished hope and
expectation of placing his completed manuscript in the print-
er's hands within a short time. The work is very complete,
thoroughly compiled and systematically arranged.

The following is a list of the manuscripts acquired during
the year and the sources from which they were received:

Samuel Talcott's diary of a trip from Connecticut to Ohio, April-
June 1819.

Records of North Stonington temperance society, 1828, containing
names of 334 members.

The gift of a valuable collection of genealogical manuscripts
by Mr. Donald Lines Jacobus was noted in my last report, and
certain conditions attached to the gift were there stated. Since
that time, upon the return of Mr. Jacobus from military service
in France, he has removed the condition of a payment of a fee
for the privilege of consulting these manuscripts.

A quantity of cloth covered paste board boxes 9^ by 14 y2
by 4 inches have been procured and a beginning has been made
during the year of assorting and arranging some of our series
of historical manuscripts and letters in them. Something had
previously been done along the same line by using file boxes
of a slightly smaller size that had been discarded by one of the
local insurance companies. In all nearly 150 boxes have al-
ready been filled. Thus cared for these manuscripts are better
preserved, arranged and classified than they have been and can
be more easily located and consulted. It is hoped that another
hundred boxes may be filled during the coming 3'ear.

Excepting the large collection of Sanford books and pam-
phlets, comparatively few purchases of important books have
been made during the year now closing. The increase in the
prices asked for books would naturally lessen the number of
purchases that could be made with a fixed appropriation or
income for the growth of the library. Many of the new books
b appear not to be worth the prices asked for them, and your
library committee has hesitated about authorizing their pur-
chase. In some instances books published within a few years,
and which are still on the market, have been advanced by
dealers to more than twice their former price. Genealogical
pamphlets, excerpts from larger books, consisting of from two
to ten pages are frequently offered at two dollars each. To
purchase the same number and size of books on local history
and genealogy now, means the expenditure of more than twice
the amount required three or four years ago.

The total of accessions during the year, exclusive of manu-
scripts, has been by gift 400 volumes, 539 pamphlets and 53
miscellaneous items; by purchase, including five volumes

21

credited to particular funds, 536 volumes, iiSj pamphlets and
151 miscellaneous items; by exchange three pamphlets. This
makes a total of 936 volumes, [721 pamphlets and 204 mis-
cellaneous, and a grand total of 2861 items, among which are
1535 items credited to the Sanford purchase.

The purchases made with income from the Charles J.
Hoadly Fund are as follows:

Genealogy of some deseiulants of Thomas Fuller of Woburn by

William II. Fuller.
Records and files of the Quarterly Courts of Essex County, M;^\,

Vol. 7, 1678-16S0.

Probate records of Essex County, .Mass., vols. 1, 2, [635 i<>7.}.(2 vols.)

The history of the Wheeler Family in America was pur-
chased with income from the William F. J. Boardman Fund.

Your recording secretary and librarian acknowledges with
regret that in preparing the last " annual report " for the press
he omitted the last page of President Gross' address of May
27, 19 1 9, which is as follows:

" I have greatly appreciated the honor of being the President
"of the Connecticut Historical vSociety. I fear that I have
"not been of much aid; but I can assure you, that I shall still
"retain my interest in the Society and shall be ready to aid
" you at all times in advancing its good fortunes and its pres-
" ent high reputation.

" Charles K. Gross."

The gift by Dr. Flavel S. Luther of a volume of the Windham
Herald, containing a portion of the years 1 794-1 795, makes
our file of that valuable newspaper practically complete from
its beginning in 1791 to the end of 1804, except for the year
March 17^7 to March 179S, and give^ this Society the finest
file extant.

A continuing subscription by the late James J. Goodwin,
our former Vice-President, has brought us two volumes of the
Victoria History of the Counties of England, Hertfordshire
vol. iv. and Yorkshire vol. 1, also Crisp's Visitation of Ireland
vol. vi. Forty volumes have now been received of the Chron-
icles of America series published by the Yale Press. The
American Historical vSociety of New York has presented us
with the eight volumes of its valuable biographical and gene-
alogical Encyclopedia of Massachusetts. Our annual donation
of directories of different cities, received from the Hartford

Printing Company, consists this year of one hundred seventy
volumes.

Our unrivaled collection of eighteenth century Connecticut
imprints has received six additions, bearing dates 1 771 , 1784,

1785. 1794 (2), 1798.

Among the years accessions are a considerable number of
church manuals, year books and similar church and local town
publications. These items, although small and often over-
looked, frequently prove of much assistance to historical and
genealogical searches. A number of local histories of towns
in Vermont and on Long Island have been acquired. Numer-
ous valuable publications have, as usual, been received from
the United States government, the Smithsonian Institution,
the state of Connecticut, and the various historical societies
which are on our regular exchange list. The Bureau of Rail-
way Economics has added a considerable number of railroad
reports and other pamphlets upon railway matters to our ex-
tensive collection on that subject. Two local institutions, the
^Etna Insurance Company and the Society for Savings, have
favored us with copies of their centennial histories. Our late
Vice-President James J. Goodwin had subscribed on behalf of
the Society for the English magazine The Genealogist; the
subscription ceasing with his death five years ago. As there
was frequent call for this magazine the Society has recently
renewed the subscription.

William B. Birge of Norwich has presented to us the flag
carried by the ' ' Forlorn Hope ' ' at the storming of Port Hud-
son under the command of Colonel, later Major General Henry
W. Birge, father of the donor.

Our genealogical collection has been increased by the ad-
dition of histories of the following families: Avery-Fairchild-
Park, Avery pedigree, Beard, Bingham, Buck, Clarke, Cod-
dington, Currier, Fales, Forbes and Forbush, Fuller, Good-
ridge, Johnson, Kimber, Newton, Peter, Sage, Smith, Stillman,
Toy, Warner, Wheeler.

Miss Alice Welles of New York has recently presented to
the Society nine cases of books and pamphlets which had been
received as a deposit from her father the late Edgar T. Welles,
sometime a member of the Society. The books had formed a
part of the library of the depositor, and some of them had once
belonged to his father Hon. Gideon Welles, who was also a

member of the Society for 38 years. As the Society at present
has no shelf room for so large a number of books, the cases
have not yet been unpacked.

The use of the library during the year, as indicated by the
number of readers, shows an increase of above thirteen per
cent over last year. The number since the last annual meeting
being 2656.

A gift recently received from Miss Jane R. Johnson of South
Orange, X. J. has as yet been only partially unpacked and not
thoroughly examined. It consists of a case of books and three
small boxes of manuscripts. The manuscripts comprise John-
sou family correspondence, legal documents, and some original
writings and memoranda, beginning about 1830 and covering
a period of about seventy-five years. The donor's father
Alexander George Johnson, a native of Vermont, removed to
New York state where he was prominent in educational affairs,
was for four years deputy secretary of the state, and for
almost twenty years editor of a daily newspaper in Troy. He
died in 1879. Besides his correspondence, the letters also
include correspondence of his children, some of whom appear
to have resided for a time in Connecticut and others in New
York city; of his father David Johnson of Newbury, Vermont,
and of his mother's family the Wardens of Windsor, Vermont.
A sister of Mrs. A. G. (Warden) Johnson was the wife of
William M. Evarts the famous lawyer.

In the matter of much needed additional room for our
library, I can only repeat what has been said already in previous
reports. We have outgrown our space and particularly our
shelf room for books, pamphlets, newspapers and manuscripts.
If we are to continue existence our library must and will grow:
our shelves are already crowded beyond their proper capacity;
there is no space on them for growth, the outlook sometimes
seems discouraging. Such in a few words is our situation.
The question is what can be done.

Respectfully submitted,

Albert C. BATES, Librarian.

prestbent's Ctbbress.

The custom of this Society requires of me at this time, and
imposes upon you, what by courtesy is termed " the President's
address."

Little of consequence can be written here that has not al-
ready been said, probably many times, by my predecessors in
this office. They have dwelt upon the proven usefulness of
the collections of this Society, in immediate connection with
other institutions for information and culture which are
located in this central and accessible place. These former
incumbents of this office have time and again deplored the
inadequacy of the space available for the accommodation of
the rare and priceless collection of books, documents and relics
which have been given to this Society, or acquired for it by
discriminating officials during its existence of more than four-
score years.

Repeated reference to these conditions may not spend itself
entirely in wain repetitions. Simple iteration of the needs may
draw out sometime a wise suggestion which will materialize in
practical plans for providing, — in conjunction with the allied
institutions about this library, — space sufficient for the accom-
modation of its collections, and facilities suitable for their use
and display.

The varied acquisitions of the Connecticut Historical .Society
at the present time include probably the most extensive collect-
ions of New Kngland genealogy and local history in the State.
They include also the most complete collection of early Con-
necticut imprints, and are especially strong in early Connecticut
newspapers, laws and almanacs.

In addition to printed works, the library contains several
hundred manuscript genealogies and copies of town and church
vital records, chiefly of Connecticut towns and families. It
contains also many thousands of early letters and historical
documents written by Connecticut notables from the earliest

10

settlements. Here are, carefully preserved, the correspondence
of most of our Governors from 1725 to 1S27; of Colonel Jere-
miah Wadsworth, Commissary General during the War of the
American Revolution; of the Wolcott family for two centuries;
of William Samuel Johnson, the colony's agent to England;
of Henry Shelton Sanford, Connecticut's foremost diplomat;
of Samuel Colt; letters to Nathan Hale and his army diary;
the rare official papers in the celebrated Mohegan Indian case,
and the records of the Susquehanna Company, which were
instrumental in winning a recent law suit involving a consider-
ation of six hundred thousand dollars. There are many other
documents of practical use and of great interest to the historian,
among them the agreement signed by L,afayette in 1776, under
which he came to this country to aid the Colonists.

The number of our members has so intimate and important
a relation to the Society's usefulness that plans for adding to
the membership of the Society are worthy of the serious con-
sideration and the time which ma)7 be given to them. Several
of our members during the past year have extended invitations
to their friends to unite with the Society. The result is that
new members have been added to our roll. A continuance of
this activity on the part of the same members, and a share in
it by others, will unquestionably increase our membership
much more during the coming year. Those members who
cannot avail themselves personally of the facilities of the rooms
may feel that they are aiding a work of real usefulness, and
that it would be difficult to invest a similar sum where it would
be more helpful to the public interests. I would recommend
that with the annual reports we again send a request to our
members to return a blank form enclosed, with the names of
men or women whom they will propose for membership. I
would suggest, too, that each member ask other members of
the Society to participate actively in this movement to secure
additional members. This service, and the resulting increase
in membership, will add appreciably to the development of the
Society and to the successful prosecution of its work, and will
undoubtedly be appreciated by my successor.

During the year, while one hundred and thirty-eight active
members have been added to the Society, we have had the mis-
fortune to lose by death:

Franklin Bowditch Dexter of New Haven, admitted
1882, a member for life, died August 13th, 1920.

ber, admitted 1S90, died June 6th, 1920.

Judge William Scoville Case of Hartford, a member

All were valued members of this Society, and useful, public-
spirited citizens.

Since the last annual meeting the Treasurer has received
Five Thousand Dollars, which was bequeathed to this organi-
zation by Miss Mary Kingsbury Talcott, who was for many
years one of the most actively interested of the Society's mem-
bers.

librarian's Report.

Mr. Preside)// and Members of the Society:

The year now closing, while it has shown a steady and
health}' growth in the library, has not been marked by a large
number of accessions or by any which are of phenomenal im-
portance. In these respects it falls behind the two previous
years, particularly in the class of manuscripts. A considerable
number of minor items relating to Connecticut have been
secured, particularly pamphlet histories and addresses relating
to numerous towns, church manuals and ecclesiastical pamph-
lets. As has been the case for several years, the excessive
prices at which the newly issued genealogies and local histories
are published and the greatly increased price asked for the
older publications of these classes have for the most part pre-
vented the purchase of them. While the Society's finances
are now in a somewhat better condition than they were a few
years ago, the slight improvement has not kept pace with the
rise in the prices of books, and the whole of the appropriation
for purchasing could easily be spent for a few high priced
and much desired volumes.

Our accessions for the year, exclusive of manuscripts, are by
gift 376 volumes, 745 pamphlets and 117 miscellaneous items
including leaflets and broadsides; by purchase, including six
volumes credited to special funds, 97 volumes, 234 pamphlets
and nine miscellaneous. These make a total of 473 volumes,
979 pamphlets and 126 miscellaneous, or a grand total of 1,578
items.

The purchases credited to the Lucy A. Brainard Book Fund
are Topsfield, Mass., town records, vol. 2, 1 739—1 77s : Vital
records of Deerfield, Mass., to 1850; Vital records of Mendon,
Mass., to [850. From the income of the Charles J. Hoadly
Fund were purchased Records and files of the quarterly courts
of Essex county, Mass., vol. S, 16S0-16S3; Probate records of
Essex county, Mass., vol. 3, 1675-1681. The genealogy of the
Breck family was purchased with income of the William F. J.
Boardman Fund.

One interesting historical study has been published during
the year, and a copy presented to us by the author, the material
for which was gathered almost entirely from manuscripts
and books in this Society's library. It is " Influences toward
radicalism in Connecticut, 1 754-1 775," by Edith Anna Bailey.

At the time of my last previous report volume eighteen of
our series of "Collections," comprising the second and con-
cluding volume of the Governor Thomas Fitch papers, 1759-
1766, was in the hands of the binder. This volume, a book of
4S0 pages, has been completed and issued. The annual report
for the year ending with May 1920, a pamphlet of 44 pages
comprising statistics and the reports of the Society, was issued
in July.

Another volume of "Collections" is now in press. Unex-
pected delays in the work have prevented any rapid progress
towards its issue. It will comprise the official correspondence
and papers of the Colony of Connecticut during the governor-
ship of William Pitkin, May, 1766 to October, 1769. The
period covered is a comparatively short one, and the volume
will be thinner than several that have preceded it.

The number of readers who have used the library during the
past year is 3,110. This is an increase of 17 per cent over the
number for the previous )'ear.

In 1908 the Society received as a bequest from George Aus-
tin Clark of Utica, N. Y., a portion of the manuscript diary of
Rev. David Avery covering about fifteen years between 1 77 1
and 1S05. Later it was learned that Mrs. Frederick P. Part-
ridge of Hartford was the owner of another portion of the same
diary covering more than seven years between 1775 and 18 15.
This manuscript Mrs. Partridge has very kindly placed in the
Society's hands for copying and the copy, made by Miss Mar-
jorie Ellis, is now almost completed. When the copy is fin-
ished there will be available in this library for consultation
either in the original or a copy the following years of the diary:
Jan. i-Juue 15, 1771; Nov. 18, 1772-Nov. 25, 1777; April 7,
1778-Dec. 31, 1786; Jan. i-Dec. 31, 1789; Jan. 1, 1791-Dec.
31, 1792; Aug. 6-Dec. 31, 1794; Jan. 23, 1799-Sept. 10, 1800;
Dec. 2, 1801-Aug. 1, 1802; Jan. 14-Feb. 14, 1805; Jan. 8,
1813-Dec. 31, 1815. The diary records events in a long and
busy life, for Mr. Avery in addition to holding pastorates in

Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut, served as a chaplain
in the Revolution for four years and went mi extended mission-
ary tours in New York statu.

The correspondence of the Society during the year has been
large. With the help of Miss Ellis as assistant during certain
regular hours, better service has been given to enquiring cor-
respondents than has sometimes heretofore been rendered. It
is impossible to undertake to answer in full all of the questions
that are asked by letter. To do so would occupy the entire
time of one person. It is, however, often possible to refer the
enquirer to some one who may be able to answer the questions,
or to some genealogist who would undertake the work;
although a large number of enquirers appear to expect the

ton, S. C, from Frederick C. Norton; Towns of Old England
and New England, 1 620-1 920, part I, from Allan Forbes of

A portion of the Porter-Belden collection of old furniture,
which was loaned to the Society some years ago, has recently
been removed by the owner and is to be placed in the historic
Webb house at Wethersfield, from which town it originally
came.

Col. Calvin D. Cowles, U. S. A., retired, of Hartford, has
made the Society a very acceptable and valuable gift of Indian
leather and bead work gathered by him while in active service
in Indian Territory in 1879. Among the articles are a beau-
tifully beaded papoose carrier on a wooden frame; two long
leather bags, fringed, quilled and beaded ; two long saddle bags,
fringed and beaded; pair of long leggins and moccasins com-
bined; pair of leggins, beaded; pair of leggins, fringed; two
tobacco pouches with painted designs; nine small pouches, bags
or cases, beaded; knife sheath, beaded; five pairs of moccasins,
beaded; pipe with bowl of pipestone inlaid with lead and
wooden stem; stone pipe bowl; bed made of small sticks; bow
and arrows with iron points; woven Navaho sash; pack of
playing cards made of raw hide, painted with Mexican designs.
Accompanying the Indian collection were a dozen pieces of
native Mexican pottery gathered by Col. Cowles in Lower
California in 1874 including large and small jars, water bottles,
pitchers and cups, the majority of them handsomely ornamented
with colored designs. The whole form a most interesting
collection.

The printed genealogies added during the year are of the
families of Barney, Breck, Church, Doubleday, Doude, Eno,
Ewing, Fyfe, Gardiner, Gilbert, Hayward, Hosmer, Hub-
bard, MacClaughry, Marks-Platt Ancestry, Maxwell, Parsons,
Peters, Rugg, Selden, Skinner, Taylor, Warren, Willard re-
union, Welton-Upson.

Fourteen items have been added to our unrivaled collection
of eighteenth century Connecticut imprints. They are of the

following years, [1772], 17S4, 17X6, 1790, 1791, 1794, 1795,
1796(2), 1797, 1798, 1799(2), 1800. A number of imprints of
this class have been acquired by the adjoining Watkinson
Library; the earliest being of 172N.

A large and curious water jar or jug was presented by Julia
!•'. White of Hartford. It bears the inscription " Isaiah Gil-
bert, West Hartford Conn. Made by T. Harrington, Hart-
ford, Conn." From a grandson of the maker now residing in
Hartford it is learned that Thomson Harrington, a native of
North Brookfield, Mass., was working as an apprentice in a
pottery in Hartford 1 823-1826. From here he went to New
York state where he established potteries and carried on the
business for many years.

Mrs. Louise Woodbridge Percy of Chicago has presented the
Society with a portrait of Brigadier General Timothy Robbins
Stanley. Gen. Stanley was a native of Hartford but removed
when young to Ohio and served in the Civil War from that
state.

The necessary space for both books and manuscripts is woe-
fully deficient, making the situation a very discouraging one
for your librarian. Books are placed upon the ledges, laid
upon other books or placed in double rows on the shelves, and
piled upon the floor or upon temporary shelving in our store-
rooms. It is the same with manuscripts. The shelves of our
manuscript vault are overflowing, and numerous boxes of
manuscripts are temporarily placed on the shelves or floor of
our vault room for books. When can we hope for more ade-
quate accommodations for our treasures?

Respectfully submitted,

ALBERT C. Bates, Librarian.

prestbent's &55ress

The year which this Annual Meeting brings to a close has

been, when all things are considered, a period of encourag-
ing prosperity and progress in the affairs of the Connecticut
Historical Society.

The wisdom and care of your committee on monthly papers
have resulted in an increased attendance at the regular meet-
ings.

The membership campaign which has been in progress for
sometime has continued to produce some, though diminishing,
results, and several new names have been added to the roll of
the Society in the last year, but unfortunately we have lost
by death during this time a large number of valued and influ-
ential members, some of whom have been for many years
among the Society's most earnest supporters.

The Hon. Edward Stevens Henry of Rockville, a Vice-
Presideut of the Society, who was admitted to membership in
1890, died February 8th, 1922.

Dr. WlLUSTON Walker of New Haven, admitted in [891,
died March 9th, 1922.

Mrs. Sarah L. Pitkin of Hartford, admitted in 1890, died
in August, 192 1.

Thomas Sx 1:1.1. WEAVER of Hartford, admitted in [890,
died February 8th, 1022.

Mrs. Mary B. Brainard of Hartford, a life member, ad-
mitted in 1904, died July 23rd, [921.

Mrs. Mary R. Perkins of Hartford, admitted in 1S90, a
life member, died July 6th, 1921.

Mr. Chari.es Griswold of Guilford, admitted in 1906,
died November 6th, 192 1.

Major Edward V. Preston of Hartford, admitted in [908,
died July 10th, 1921 .

Mr. FREDERICK BOSTWICK of New Haven, admitted in
1909, died January 22nd, 1922.

Mi;. Georgk PERRY Chandler of Hartford, admitted in
[920, died January 15th, 1022.

Col. William Converse Skinner of Hartford, admitted
in [920, died March 8th, 1922.

Col. William Henry Hall of South Willington, admitted

in 1 i)2i, died February 14th, 1922.

Mr. Charles L,uther Spencer of Suffield, admitted in
May, died September 21st, 1921.

Miss Katharine A. PRICHARD of Waterbury, the historian
of that town, admitted to membership in 1902, died March 13th,

1022.

Mrs. Ski. a h Raymond of Hartford, admitted to member-
ship in 1904, died in January, 1922.

Judge Edwin Baker Gager, an ex-officio member since
Mm, died April 28th, 1922.

In the course of the year one ex-officio member has been
retired by age, three members have resigned and one animal
member has become a life member, fort}r-one persons have
been admitted to active membership and two ex-officio mem-
bers have been added. The present membership consists of
eighteen ex-officio members, two of whom are active, four
hundred twenty two active members, thirty-five of whom are
life members, one honorary member and three corresponding
members.

In consequence of the active and persistent efforts which
many of our members have made to increase the membership
of the Society, one hundred and ninety-three new names have
been enrolled within the last few years, but, because of the
large number of deaths, the net increase during the period of
this canvass, — from May 1919 to May 1922, — amounts to only
one hundred and ten, consequently the active membership of
the Society, which was three hundred and fourteen three years
ago is now but four hundred and twenty-two. What may be
termed the favorable prospects for approach have been very
thoroughly considered. It seems probable, therefore, that it
will be more difficult to find new members during the next
few years than it has been during the last two or three years,

but it should not be impossible by earnest work to add some-
what to the roll as each war pass

Inasmuch as a rather stout insistence upon the probable
benefit of a rotation in the office of President of this Society
has in the cud carried conviction, I am encouraged to suggest
the advantage of rotation in the locality recognized when the
nominee for this office is selected. People in various parts of
the State belong to this Society. People in comparatively dis-
tant towns who are members of their own local historical soci-
eties have shown a keen interest in the affairs of this Society
by writing cordial letters offering useful suggestions for its de-
velopment and progress. Gifts of valuable historical material
have come from various sections of the State, and at times de-
cedents without the boundaries of Hartford have left bequests
to the Society. It seems logical, therefore, that the President
of the Society should be chosen from time to time from differ-
ent parts of the State, not on the ground solely that gratitude
is, as lias been said, " a lively appreciation of favors to come,"
but chiefly as a polite acknowledgment of the interest which
many people residing outside Hartford have shown in this in-
stitution which is known as the Connecticut Historical Society.

So far as I am conscious of any coherent purpose in my
earnest desire to promote the welfare of this Society, that pur-
pose has been directed toward broadening the field for contri-
butions to the Society and extending the interest in its work,
with the idea that co-operation among the people and the in-
stitutions in this State concerned in historical research will be
mutually helpful and stimulating, of advantage to each other
and of advantage to the work as a whole. The obvious bene-
fits of this plan will, it seems to me, be furthered by the adop-
tion of the suggestion offered. If there is a difference of
opinion on the subject, that of itself invites discussion. In
any event, the interests of the Society will not suffer from a
free and frank consideration of the question. The decision
may not be important. It may not effect the interests of the
Society in any way. On the other hand it may disclose a
glimpse of the Society's future, and there are those, I am told
who think that they could turn the gift to practical purpose if
they possessed the prescience to divine the future scope and
ultimate destiny of the Connecticut Historical Society.

During the past year the Society has had the good fortune
to include Mr. Francis T. Maxwell of Rockville in its list of
Vice-Presidents.

The year has been made memorable also by the gift from
one of the older members of bonds to the amount of twenty
thousand dollars par value to constitute the nucleus of a build-
ing fund.

As an addition to other funds of the Society there have been
received, a legacy of $3,000 from the estate of Dr. Gurdon W.
Russell, a legacy of $5,000 from the estate of his widow, Mrs.
Mary I. B. Russell, and a bequest of $500 from the late E.
Stevens Henry.

The Treasurer will show you in his report that moneys re-
ceived have been promptly and carefully invested.

Your Secretary and Librarian will tell you in detail of his
efforts, which appear to have been more than usually produc-
tive of notable results. The end of this year completes a
period of thirty years of service on the part of this officer, Mr.
Albert C. Bates. The efficiency and marked success of his
labors during these three decades will be recognized in some
degree in a minute to be inscribed upon our records, which
will be prepared by Mr. Forest Morgan, who was appointed
for this purpose by a vote of the Society at its regular meeting
on May 2nd. All who have had an opportunity to know of
the work of Mr. Bates understand that his devotion to this
service is absolute, that his zeal for his work never flags, and
that his industry in its pursuit never abates. During the
period of my incumbency of this office I have felt under con-
tinued obligation to him for the inspiration of his enthusiasm,
for the encouragement of his heart}7 co-operation, and for the
comfort of his unfailing courtesy in all things.

As I lay down the pleasant duties of this place I want to
thank him for his help and cheer, and I wish to thank you all
for your kindliness and encouragement during the time of my
service, and for your friendly indulgence in permitting me to
enjoy the distinction of occupying this honorable office for so
long a time.

George C. F. Williams,

President.

Mr. President and Members of ike Society:

When presenting this my thirtieth annual report it seems
only natural to look back for a moment and view in retrospect
some incidents of these years. In 1892 the building of the
Wadsworth Atheneum was being enlarged and rearranged.
Late in the year the Society's library was installed in the stately
room vacated by the Watkinson Library, the historical relics
were once more arranged in the Society's hall, the newspapers
were placed in the room assigned to them, and the older news-
papers and manuscripts were arranged in the respective vaults
which had been allotted for that purpose. The funds at this
time were exceedingly limited and the prestige of the Society
had become somewhat dimmed through death of members and
general lack of interest, although a revival of interest had
begun about three years previously. Since then there has
been marked growth and advancement along every line: the
membership has more than doubled, the average number of
gifts has more than doubled, the annual income from all
sources is more than five times what it was, the genealogies
occupy more than five times their former space, the local
histories at least four times what they did, newspapers re-
quire perhaps eight to ten times their former shelf space,
manuscripts have grown to four or five times their former
number. In the matter of publications, seventeen volumes
have been issued in our regular series of "Collections," three
volumes not in that series, a pamphlet report each year show-
ing the work of the Society, and several miscellaneous pamph-
lets. The number of our readers shows a fairly constant
and steady increase from year to year, except during the years
of the recent war. Our monthly meetings are well attended
and many papers of historical interest have been read at them.
We are recognized the country over as one of the foremost
historical societies, and our books and • manuscripts are con-
sulted or information sought from them by persons from all
parts of the United States.

But there is also a dark side to the picture. Growth of
the Society, its work and its library requires increase of space
and demands increase in service to care for it. In the matter
of space we are woefully deficient, almost to a point beyond
the belief of any one who has not actually seen our general
library, stack room, newspaper room, directory section, storage
rooms, and manuscript vaults. In 1910 our main library was
moved from the old Watkinson room to handsome and well
lighted rooms across the front of the Atheneum building;
but, alas, except for the addition of a large newspaper room,
there was no increase in shelf space. In fact there was a
slight decrease in the linear feet of shelving for the ordinary
run of books. Shelves are now crowded to their limit and
floor space is occupied by books. There is very little oppor-
tunity to arrange and classify material when there is no space
for properly placing and shelving it. Our future as a society
depends upon our having within a reasonable period of time
additional room for the arrangement and placing of material
that we already have and to accommodate future growth.
Added space will necessitate the services of an all time assist-
ant, and this in turn will call for an increase in our funds.
The whole matter constitutes a difficult problem, to the neces-
sity for solving which I respectfully but urgently beg to call
the attention of the Society's officers and members.

By reason of the amount of editing and printing that has
been done, the year has been an unusually busy one for 3-our
librarian and chairman of publication committee. Because
of the high prices prevailing, not as many books as usual
have been purchased for the library; and the number and
variety of gifts to the library has not been as great as in
some former years. On the other hand, the number of our
members has increased, a considerable general interest in the
Society and its work has been apparent, and our monthly
meetings have been well attended.

The number of our readers is almost precisely the same as
last year; but is larger than for several years previous to last
year. The total for the year is 3,113.

The nineteenth volume of the Society's series of "Collec-
tions," comprising "The Pitkin Papers," correspondence and
documents during the governorship of William Pitkin, 1766-

15

1769, a book of 340 pages was issued, after numerous delays,
about three months since. The usual "animal report" of
the Society, a pamphlet of 47 pages, was issued in July.
The volume of Pitkin Papers forms the ninth to be issued by
the Society containing in unbroken sequence the correspond-
ence of the governors of Connecticut from [72 1 to 1769, cover-
ing the governorships of Joseph Talcott, Jonathan Law, Roger
Wolcott, Thomas Fitch and William Pitkin.

Mr. William C. Oilman of Norwich deposited with us in
January, 1909, three volumes containing about 400 letters
written by the Huntington family, the majority of them by
General Jedediah Huntington, and chiefly during the period
of the American Revolution, in which he was an active par-
ticipant. It was the understanding at the time of making
this deposit that unless recalled during his life these manu-
scripts should become the property of the Society upon Mr.
Oilman's decease, an event which occurred only a few weeks
ago.

About three years ago Mr. Edward Gray of Milton, Mass.,
offered to the Society for publication annotated copy which
he had prepared from manuscripts in a private collection in
Boston of about 250 letters forming the correspondence of
Lieutenant Colonel Joshua Huntington of Norwich, brother
to General Jedediah, from 177 1 to 1783, principally during
the period of the American Revolution, in which he was an
active participant.

The Society accepted Mr. Gray's very kind offer and during
the past year has voted to issue these two series of Huntington
letters as its next volume of "Collections." Work upon this
volume has been pushed as rapidly as possible and 288 pages
are already in print. No more will be done on the volume
until late summer, when it is hoped to complete and isMie it
without further delay.

Lemuel A. Welles, Esq., of New York, a member who is
always actively interested in the work of the Society, came
into possession not long ago of a quantity of letters and
papers of the Wyllys family, one of the earliest and most
important families connected with the settlement of Hartford.
The earliest of these papers is of about the time when the
family settled in Hartford, and they come down to about the

period of the French and Indian War, with a few of later date.
Among them are letters which passed between members of
the family in England and Hartford between 1640 and 1660;
priced and itemized lists of goods sent to Hartford from Eng-
land before 1645; lists of the heads of families in several of
the towns of Connecticut in 1669; numerous official letters
during the period of King Philip's War, and a complete list
of the soldiers serving from Connecticut in Queen Anne's
War in the year 17 10. There is also considerable correspond-
ence of members of the Woodbridge family, one of whom
married a Wyllys. Of strictly local interest are a number of
papers relating to the First and Second churches in Hartford.
Mr. Welles has very kindly offered this Society the privilege
of printing these papers, an offer which has been most grate-
fully accepted. About two hundred twenty five of them have
already been copied; the majority of them copied in New York
under Mr. Welles' supervision, the others under your libra-
rian's supervision from photostat reproductions furnished by
Mr. Welles. It is anticipated that these papers will make a
volume of exceptional interest.

In the death on October 19, 1900, of Charles Jeremy Hoadly,
LED., this Society lost a long time member and an honored
president, and the State Library of Connecticut lost a distin-
guished and learned librarian, who had faithfully served the
state in that capacity for almost half a century. While serv-
ing as State Librarian, and acting under Resolutions of the
General Assembly, Dr. Hoadly transcribed and edited the
Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven (163S-
1664) in two volumes and the Public Records of the Colony
of Connecticut volumes four to fifteen (16S9-1776), volumes
one to three having been issued by his predecessor. Follow-
ing the issue of these, he continued with the Public Records
of the State of Connecticut, and published two volumes cov-
ering the period from October 1776 to April 17S0 inclusive.
He also prepared a third volume containing the public records
of the state from May 1780 to the close of 1781, with the
records of the Council of Safety for the same period and in an
appendix the proceedings of the Boston convention of August
1780, the Hartford convention of November 1780, the abortive
Providence convention of April 1781 and the Providence con-

vention of June 17X1. Failing health prevented Dr. Hoadly
from publishing the volume. This third volume has now
after a lapse of more than twenty years been published by
Mr. George E. Hoadley, a brother of its distinguished com-
piler. Mr. Hoadley, who is deeply interested in this Society,
has arranged to have the Society attend to the sale of the
volume, and copies may now be obtained at the price estab-
lished by him of six dollars.

Among valuable and interesting books that the Society has
acquired may be mentioned a life of Jared Ingersoll, which
is as much a history of the time as a biography of the man,
presented by the author Lawrence H. Gipson; Anthology ami
bibliography of Niagara Falls in two volumes, from the New
York State Library; Life of General Artemus Ward, for
which this Society furnished some material from its manu-
scripts, from the New England Historic Genealogical Society;
part two of Towns of Old England and New England from
Allan Eorbes its author; from J. Franklin Jameson of the
Carnegie Institution of Washington volume I of Letters of
Members of the Continental Congress, a work for which this
Society furnished many letters written by the members from
Conne- dent; East Haddam Advertiser, volume I, 1869-1870,
possibly the only file extant, from Frederick L. Ray of East
Haddam; extracts from Washington's Diaries, 1791-1799;
from Oral S. Coad his article on "An early college play" —
The Mercenary Match by Barnabas Bidwell of Yale — of which
this Society owns one of the three known copies. Fifteen
numbers of the Connecticut Journal were added to our im-
perfect file for the year 1794. The last ten volumes com-
pleting our purchase of the Chronicles of America series were
received in August.

A copy of the rare Yale College "Theses" of 1781, printed
at Hartford by Hudson and Goodwin has been secured by the
Society. Concerning this broadside President Stiles wrote in
his diary under date of August 2, 17S1; "SirChan'g [Henry
Chainning, a graduate of that year] returned fr. Hartford,
the Printer there has engaged to [print] the Commencent
Theses, Catalogues, & Quaestiones Magistrates. The Press
in New Haven (Tho. Green) is a Tory press & unobliging to
College. This the reason of sending abroad." The only

other copy of this "Theses" which has been located is that
in the library of Harvard University.

From the late Mrs. Caroline T. Jones of Ithaca, N. Y. , we
have received a curious painted and embroidered picture repre-
senting the discovery of Moses in the bulrushes. It was made
by the donor's mother, Ruth Green, who later became the
second wife of John Warner Barber the historian.

A painted portrait in oval frame of our former member, the
late Major Julius G. Rathbun, well remembered by all of the
older residents of Hartford, was given us by Charles G. Stone
on behalf of Mr. Rathbun' s daughter, the late Mrs. Stone.

Francis H. Parker, chairman of our library committee has
presented a quantity of Connecticut state departmental reports
and documents which were new to us as separate issues, and
some of which were not previously in our library in any form.

From the Hartford Printing Company (Elihu Geer Sons)
we have received one hundred thirty three volumes of directo-
ries of different cities throughout the country. Gifts of a num-
ber of books have been received from Arthur Adams, Benjamin
Adams, Olin H. Clark, Charles E. Prior and the Bureau of
Railway Economics.

The family genealogies acquired during the year are: Bing-
ham, Brooks, Church, Earll-Sabin Ancestry, Felt Ancestry,
Goodwin (English records), Hillman, Horton Ancestry, Innis,
Kinsman, McCarthy, Olin, Olney, Pike (Association reports),
Reed-Edgertou Ancestry, Rockwell and Sharpe.

From the income of the William F. J. Boardman Fund there
have been purchased the Kinsman Genealogy, Oluey Gene-
alogy and History of Sullivan, N. H. (2 vols.), and from
income of the Lucy A. Brainard Book Fund the History of
Newtown, Conn., by J. E. Johnson.

Besides the broadside of 1781 and newspapers of 1794, only
six Connecticut imprints of the eighteenth century have been
added to our unsurpassed collection. These are of the years

T757> J798 (3), !799 (2).

A generous gift from the Yale University Press included
such of its publications as Jeffersonian democracy in New
England by William A. Robinson, The Connecticut wits and
other essays by Henry A. Beers, and Eiterary culture in early
New England, 1620 to 1730, by Thomas Goddard Wright.

A recent generous gift from our long-time member Mr.
James Shepard of the balance of the editions of eight historical
works and genealogical monographs issued by him will, through
the sale of copies of them, bring a welcome addition to our
funds for the issue of further publications by the Society.

The accessions for the year, exclusive of manuscripts, which
are separately listed, are by gift 471 volumes, 414 pamphlets
and 41 miscellaneous; by purchase, including the books cred-
ited to special funds, 04 volumes, 145 pamphlets and 38 miscel-
laneous; by exchange two volumes, two pamphlets and one
miscellaneous. These make a total of 565 volumes, 559

The manuscripts received from Mrs. Parmele deserve more
than a passing mention. First and most extensive among
them is the Parmele family genealogy — descendants of John
of Guilford — upon which Doctor Parmele had expended much
time and labor. This is carefully compiled and indexed, and
contains in addition to genealogy much personal data copied
from ancient records and other sources. It is so well arranged
that another person could readily take it up where the Doctor's
ill health compelled him to drop the work. In addition there
is carefully arranged genealogical data relating to many, per-
haps fifty, other families. In some of these families the Doctor
was personally interested, while in other cases he had been
professionally employed by others to trace their genealogies.
This data varies from a single page to, in the case of the
Farrington family, more than three hundred small pages.

Eight years ago Mrs. Susan E. Johnson Hudson of Strat-
ford, on behalf of the Johnson family, presented to the Society
a large and very valuable collection of Johnson family corres-
pondence and papers, particularly those of the distinguished
Dr. William Samuel Johnson and his well known son Samuel
William Johnson. From the same source, through the courtesy
of our member Prof. Max Farrand of New Haven, we have
recently received a second, and I believe final, gift of Johnson
manuscripts, consisting of several thousand letters of more
recent date than the majority of those in the previous gift.
These comprise the correspondence of later members of the
family and are in the neighborhood of from eighty to one
hundred and twenty years old. The gift is so extensive that
your librarian has not yet had opportunity to make more than
a very hurried examination of the papers.

A most interesting Lincoln memorial has been presented t«>
US by Dr. Robert M. Yergason of Hartford. It is one of the
two United States flags which draped the front of the box in

which President Lincoln sat at Ford's Theatre on the even-
ing of his assassination. The flag is inscribed in gold letters
' ' Presented to Treasury Guard by the Ladies of the Treasury
Dept 1864." Accompanying this flag is a small fragment of
the second flag, which draped the other side of the box, in
which the assassin caught his spur as he leaped down to the
stage, causing him to fall and fracture the bones of his leg.
The flag and fragment are enclosed in a substantial case and
accompanied by documents explaining how they came into
possession of the late Mr. Edgar S. Yergason of Hartford,
father of Doctor Yergason.

Respectfully submitted,

Albert C. Bates, Librarian.
